What a thrill ! ! Door bell rings and there it is ! ! ! Sitting there on my porch bench is not only the funniest decorated box on this planet, but inside more funny cartoons and the best packaging of nuts this side of the Mississippi ! ! The St. John's Bread is delicious ! Exactly the way it tasted 63 years ago. ( How ever do you do that ? )And the seeds are still the same as we remember. Like little beads of glass. And thank you for the apricot sample . Absolutely divinely delicious. Thanks , Jeffrey, for putting the family store on line and thanks to Daddy Kenny, Uncle Sandy and Cousin David ! And thanks for cornering the market on "NUT JOKES" You really crack us up ! Yours 'til nuts no longer fall from the trees, The Vennetti Family Dad, Uncle and Cousin The
