Happy 3 Year Anniversary To Miz Helen's Country Cottage!

 I am so glad to see you today, it is a very special day here at the Cottage. Three years ago I pushed that button and made my First Blog Post for Miz Helen's Country Cottage.  That day a door opened for me that gave me a whole new adventure in life. So many of you have been a part of this journey from the very beginning.  The friendships that have been made along the way, sharing our lives with each other.  I truly do look forward to seeing you here at the cottage whenever you can stop by whether it is for Full Plate Thursday or to check out The Menu every week, say hello to Max or just take a look at the newest recipe.  Your support for me has been amazing and it continues to touch my heart with every comment that you make.   Thank you so much for being a part of my journey, I love you and am giving each one of you a big hug!!

 Background Story For Full Plate Thursday

When we were young and just starting out in life sometimes we did not have a lot of money. Most of our friends were having to stretch the dollars at the end of the month just like us. My girlfriends and I decided that we would pool our food for some of the evening meals right before payday... the last week of the month. I have some of the fondest memories from those days. We would all bring our food together and we had some great food and great fellowship. We would get the food on the table and everything ready, someone would bless the food and then the hostess would say "come fill your plate".
