After re-ordering 6 times, Write Ons definitely knows Tastes & Treasures II. Joan Andrews takes a box of books for the store from Ruth McLeod. Great customer service and unique merchandise makes this store on 7th St and Rose Lane a fun place to shop.


























Lons at Hermosa Inn has also re-ordered many times. Thanks to Patt Walker for delivering more books to Pam Swartz at Hermosa Inn. Note their distinctive door is on the cover of Tastes & Treasures II . . . definitely a SW Arizona look.

Makers and Bakers at Encanto Park

It's always fun to talk about Arizona history and Tastes & Treasures II at events. Stop by and say hello tomorrow at Encanto Park. noon - 5 pm. 
Historical League member Christine Hackett will be in our booth. She was a hit when she prepared Lakin’s Chili con Queso dip, page 188 of Tastes & Treasures II, for a recent party. 
Made and delivered in her crockpot, there were no leftovers to bring home. The reaction, “This is Y-U-M-M-Y!”
