Eric is the winner of a CD of my family’s recipes. He bid an amazing $25 for it. Thank you so much, Eric. I know you’re going to love these! This brings the total raised for The Oral Cancer Foundation to $248.29. We’re getting closer to the goal!
Thank you, Eric!
Bye bye, cookbooks, I know you will love living with Alice!
Many thanks go to Alice, who sent me a bid of $20 for the 3 Gluten Free Cookbooks that I had up for bids in my auction to benefit The Oral Cancer Foundation. Now I can get those sent out the door, and her generous bid brought me closer to meeting my lofty goal of $500! This bid, plus a donation of spare change from a paypal account, brings the total to $218.29! Whooo Hoooo!
Now there is only one item left that has no bids, the Art Greeting Cards. Any takers on those?
UPDATE 1/23/2011: The Art Greeting Cards have a new owner! Thank you, Cindy!
FabGrandpa and his brothers in 1992
The item up for bids this week is a CD copy of our Family Cookbook. Back in 1996, my mother finally agreed to write down all her recipes so that I could type them up for a family cookbook. All the women (and some of the men) in our family also contributed to this recipe collection. The original book was only my mother’s recipes, printed on 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper, and bound with a comb binding. It had her picture on the front, and there were only 14 copies made–one for each of my siblings and each of the adult grandchildren. After that first print was done, all of the women (and some of the men) in our family also contributed to this recipe collection. We printed about 100 copies on in a book that was 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 inches. It had 250 pages at that size, and all 100 copies were distributed.
A well used and well loved cookbook
Today I am offering a CD version of the 250 page cookbook, Recipes From Our Mother’s Kitchen. It doesn’t have my mother’s picture on the front of it, but it will be signed by me, FabGrandma.

Me and Jim at Point Sublime
There we are at Point Sublime. To get there, you have to take a four wheel drive vehicle about 20 miles out on one of the roughest roads I have ever been on. The view at the end is stunning! That drive was nothing compared to the months of treatments and recuperation Jim went through after being diagnosed with oral cancer in January, 2001. I am so thankful and grateful for every day we have together, because not everyone makes it to the end of that road.
I am doing this auction to bring awareness of oral cancer to as many people as I can reach. The screening for oral cancer is a simple “in the doctor’s or dentist’s office”, non-invasive proceedure. It only takes about 5 minutes. So, this year when you have your annual physical or the next time you go to have your teeth cleaned, ask your doctor or dentist to screen you for it.
The item up for bids this week is a genuine Grand Canyon National Park stainless steel water bottle:
Grand Canyon Water Bottle
This is a nice bottle, with a plastic screw in stopper that has a hole in the top for attaching to a lanyard or belt clip. It is lightweight and easy to hold on to.

Oh, and I have signed the bottom of it:
