Oh my..made me cry. How I would love to meet these ladies. Do they hand out their recipe or a nana secret?
I am the bread lady of my neighborhood... take to those who are sick, sad, or just need something homemade to warm their heart. I also teach others ( in their home or mine..but they bring all the ingredients so they know what to purchase the next time!). I am amazed how much fun they have going home with their own bread, cinnamon buns or whatever fun thing they want to make. The kneading is such a great stress reducer they soon learn! The little kids in the neighborhood call it Missjody toast....cinnamon bread . I use coffee cans for bread pans.
It is just a little way to help. I love the process, the smells and the ability to make another smile! I give it all away.

Aw Jody, I wish I lived in your neighborhood. I would love a bread-baking lesson. My adult son's favorite thing in the world is freshly baked bread. I'll bet your neighbors love you!
