Personal
Notes: I will always remember the first time I ate these apricot bars. We had just moved in to our house at 1220 Howard Ave in St. Paul (March 1, 1984...37 years ago). An elderly lady who lived 1 block south of us brought them over on the 2nd or 3rd day after we'd moved...her name was Clara Christensen. I had never met her before and didn't see her often even after that, but I've never forgotten her kindness to us and have tried to do likewise for others over the years. If there's one thing to remember in life, it's
BE KIND BE KIND BE KIND! No kind act is every wasted!
