Greetings from Lucedale. I had to write and thank you for the wonderful idea of microwaving Moon Pies ("From the Editor," May/June). Absolutely fantastic! The family fun guide ("A to Z Guide to Family Fun in Mississippi," May/June) was a blessing. With gas prices being so high, it is nice to know where to go closer to home.

This magazine means so much to me. It is like going home when I read it. I can't wait to sit down and enjoy it cover to cover. I love all the things about Kosciusko, as that is where I am from. Keep up the good work. Love all of you.
