Join Our Adventure!

Posted by Rosezella at 7:14 AM

Let me tell you a story about a young girl...

A young girl named Vicki, who loves to spin and to twirl.

She's 11 years old, has beautiful curly brown hair

If you see her in a store, you might stop and stare...

Not because she has autism, yes, she does have that thing

But because of the pure joy and zest for life that she brings.

She has a spring in her step and a twinkle in her eye

And if you get to know her heart, it will make you want to cry.

She has taught me to love and taught me to hope

She has taught me to listen and taught me to cope.

She has given me so much, now it's my turn you see..

I want to give her an adventure... won't you come along with me?

It's exhausting to be sad and cry over stuff

I put my foot down and said that's enough.

Let's give Vicki adventure and passion and fun

There's a whole world to discover and we've only just begun.

So here's my idea, won't you please help me out

It's a work in progress, here's what it's about....

Vicki loves food, loves to create and explore

You can give her that... and so much more!

For just the price of a stamp, you can send Vicki love

Enclose a recipe with a picture, or whatever you think of.

 

Here is the address to send your recipe to...

I promise you won't regret it if you do.

 

            Cook With Me. Love, Vicki

            PO Box 1386

            Stafford, VA  22555

 

Send a recipe for an appetizer, a side, or a main dish...

Send a  recipe for a drink, snack, or a dessert if you wish.

Cut out a magazine picture, have your kids draw some food

It doesn't have to be elaborate, it can be cut-out and glued.

Vicki will go to the post office and turn the lock with the key

Oh an adventure awaits her... what could it be?

Vicki can read some of the words that you write down for her

Who know, maybe Vicki will become a restaurateur!

She'll shop for the ingredients... she'll prepare the recipe

I'll take pictures and write stories so that you can share this with me.

There's a Facebook  page called "Cook With Me. Love, Vicki" where I will post updates

Please "like" it and you will see the fun that awaits.

Thank you in advance for sending Vicki your love...

Please share this with as many people as you can think of.

xoxo Vicki's Mom
