I am dashing off to a wedding of the daughter of a dear friend and sending you this Sursee for Pumpkin Bread.  This is a fantastic recipe that I make for Fall,  package up for Thanksgiving Sursees for Neighbors and then bake again during the Christmas season.  I love that I have the card in the handwriting of the cook, Shirley.  Such a great lady.  Such a great recipe that she wrote down for me once.

It is not the most healthy.  But.  It is good.  So try it?  Make it today and think of all the things for which you are thankful.  Then share with your family or a friend.
