Ed and Irene are my step-grandparents and are two of the hardest working people I have ever met. They are the owners of the famous Gadawski's restaurant (if you have never been then you DEFINITELY need to go... like now!!!). Ed is 91 and still bartenders during the day. Irene is 85 and only within the last few years has "stopped working". She still comes down to help out in the kitchen or helps out from upstairs too. Besides being hardworking, they are kind and caring and are all about family. It is always fun to get together with the Gadawskis!!! I hope these cookies find them well and that they know that the came from my heart!!!
