“Commenting

on a recipe isn't my thing, but I tried the

Skillet Salt-Roasted Potatoes in the February issue, and they were

wonderful! I made it exactly as directed, except cut the recipe in half

because there are only two of us.”

I lo v e B H G I thought, as I

article “Two for the Road.” Last year,

my mother got sick and w e almost

lost her. I am blessed that w e have

had this time together. Although not

a “getaway” like the ones described,

each and every day that w e spend

together brings us closer and makes

our relationship stronger. I wouldn’t

give it up for anything.

L a s t s u m m e r , my daughter and

I added a new dimension to our

mother/daughter getaways—a

teenage granddaughter! The three

of us drove and camped from Rusk,

Texas, to Seattle w ith a four-night

stay at Yellowstone National Park.

Priceless.

D e l i g h t e d to see room paint colors

and their manufacturers included in

the February issue. I have asked BHG

for this feature many times and you

came through. It’s impossible to

envision wall colors from those tiny

chips without a designer’s experi-

ence and imagination. Please keep

this in every issue. It’s a winner!

opened my February issue, “Wow,

they read my mind.” There have

been so many times I admired paint

colors in featured homes and

wished that I knew the manufac-

turer and color code. This issue, you

put them in.

T r y i n g t o CU t my budget, I was

considering letting several subscrip-

tions expire. H ow fortunate that my

renewal bill and the February issue

arrived today. After devouring the

magazine from cover to cover, I

realized I cannot get this much

information anywhere else.

O v e r t h e y e a r s , I have received

many compliments on my home

decorating and our wonderful yard.

I

am always very proud to tell

everyone that I get my ideas from

your magazine.

CORRECTION: A chart on heart-healthy

foods in the February issue mistakenly

suggested eating almonds for Omega-

3

,

a cholesterol-lowering fatty acid. Almonds

can reduce cholesterol, but walnuts are

unique among nuts for providing

Omega-

3

.

Me too!

My husband works long hours, so

on Friday evenings we head into

run and play and catch until we

can no longer see each other.

Then we say hello to the moon.
