   What a pleasure to put together a simple assembly recipe with grandchildren at holiday time.  Interest in this cheesy conglomeration didn't flag at all as Connor and Rose anticipated enjoying a recipe ready to eat immediately upon completion.

   Their parents, Duane and Sharon Guingrich, of Brown County, Indiana take advantage of opportunities  that enable their children to learn to serve and become strong in character, spirit, mind, body, and emotion.

   We aim to take advantage of their hospitality at their new Bed and Breakfast home often!
