Hi Paul! Love your magazine! I love the recipes! Please donโ€™t get rid of that. A suggestion would be to have your readers submit their favorite recipes. Then all you need to do is try one that sounds good to you. If it is, then put it in your magazine. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Hey Paul! Love the magazine and watching it grow over the months. Itโ€™s so funny youโ€™d share about your dishwasher filter as I just moved back to Oklahoma 2 months ago and I bought a little cottage that needs a bit of TLC and LOTS of curb appeal. Iโ€™ve been working hard on the curb appeal before it gets dreadfully hot but had to take a detour to do plumbing repairs. One of the things I had to do was learn how to locate and clean the dishwasher filter. It was disgusting!๐Ÿคข I also found lots of plastic & soap granules. I learned that if you rinse your food debris thoroughly from the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher (I already did before, but I know some folks donโ€™t), then you can replace you dishwasher detergent with white vinegar! Everything comes out clean and sanitized plus the drain and filter stay clean longer. According to the plumber, itโ€™s much better in my cast iron pipes, too!

Also, how about some interviews in your magazine? That Midwestern Mom is right there in Minnesota and sheโ€™d be fun to have do a recipe interview. I hear her hot dish is legendary. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hi Paul,

I am a new subscriber to your magazine. Makes me feel like we're good friends having a conversation. Love everything about it!

I am a long-time gardener, mostly flowers, herbs and perennials. Getting older so I do most of my planting in pots on the deck these days. I love trying out new recipes.

Thanks!

Hi Paul! I am a monthly reader, and as usual, the June issue is fabulous! I love how you mix it up with do-able recipes, home improvement, gardening, local sports, and family. Also love how you are trying to raise the bar, but your bar is already high. We get this for free????? Would you ever consider adding a "what I am reading now" page to the magazine? I have a feeling that would be interesting. Keep up the good work!

I love your magazine and always look forward to i--have done so since the first issue! Thank you for having an easy mag that doesn't take forever to get through and yet worthy of saving so one can go back to the gems! Question that may not have wide appeal but been meaning to ask for a long time now. Rummikub. . .you've shown the game more than once and that you play with your family. My husband and I play several times per week and also play with our grandkids. We have never seen a guide to place tiles as your photo shows--both vertical and horizontal. Do you have rules for that or is that something your family created? Thanks, Nancy

I love your newsletter! Especially now that you're out in your garden. Having moved from a house in MI with a beautiful yard/garden I nutured over 20 years, and now living in a community building, I so miss having my gardens to play in. Just seeing yours brings back fond memories. Keep on digging in the dirt!!!
