I've introduced you to my friend Janell several times on this blog. She is a fellow Wisconsinite who now makes her "burrow" in Indiana, just like I do. I am also privileged to have her sons as students.
From time to time, Janell shows up in my classroom bearing gifts. She brought me this warm fleece throw just after Christmas. Once she brought me Christmas card samples which ALL had Badgers on them.When she sees something that screams "Wisconsin" - - - she thinks of me. She is just a GEM like that.
Well, yesterday she walked into my class room bearing these - - -
Two bags of "Badger Pasta." Seems her mom, who still lives in Wisconsin, ALSO thought of me (and I've never even MET her mom!) when a student came door-to-door selling these for a trip fundraiser.Janell's mom came for a visit, brought the pasta, and Janell brought it to me!
I'm so excited about all the pasta salad I will make this summer with these adorable white and red University of Wisconsin "W's."I don't even think I'll share.
Thank you, Janell!!! Thank you Janell's mom!!! One day I want to MEET you.

What a special friend you have as well as her mom. Let me know when the pasta will be served - I love it.
Hey Keetha,
From another Wisconsinite and former UW Madison student, I say go Badger Pasta Salad! You'll have to show us when you get some made up!
Happy Mothers Day too,
Cindy
I didn't think you cooked? hahahaaha!
Love the pink ladies and their bags of W's.
That is the sweetest. Don't you just love thoughtful unexpected gestures!
She sounds like a wonderful person.
How sweet of her to bring you the pasta. It will look great in a summer salad. People can be so kind.
Happy Mother's Day
What a great fundraising idea too.
how fun will it be to make that pasta!!!!!!! I love your smile by the way. Makes me smile!
I don't think I would share either...have fun with them..doesn't take much for us does it??
What a treasure! Another Wisconsinonianite!
I like to give and receive fun unique gifts - it's special both ways. No, i haven't posted anything new so no need to check :)
What a fab friend to have! Has her mum gone home again? You could do worse than make a friend out of her,
Save it to make a pasta salad on game day in the fall!
Happy Mother's day, friend!
