Our Celiac Support Group, Southwest Missouri Celiac Support Group Joplin , has been meeting since last August. We had agreed to take the summer off as several have young children and are pretty busy this time of the year. But as things have turned out, we are actually seeing each other quite a bit. Many were significantly affected by the tornado and because of the generous Gluten free community and vendors we are able to get gluten free food to them.
We are so grateful to the folks that are remembered the specific struggle of the Celiacs at a time like this.
Well, I think this would be good time to take some pictures and learn to put them on this netbook and then on the blog. It is going to be a little boring with just my ramblings and not even any pictures. Hopefully in the next week or so I will get time to experiment and put some other things on the blog.
We had a new vendor contact us today and will be shipping some cases of their mixes.
I think some people are finding homes to live in after the destruction of theirs. There has been a housing boom in Joplin this week. So many are looking for homes...some will rebuild after the land is cleared but many are buying existing homes in areas outside the path of this tornado. I suppose even in such a great disaster there are positives. So some will be getting back to baking so as they try to restock their kitchens we may be able to help a little. Goodnight to all.
