I am so glad you are going! I am hoping we will all be there for next year's celebration. Please give my love to Gram and the rest of the family. <br /><br /><br />Glad you enjoyedStacyhttp://www.foodlustpeoplelove.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496305576756640634.post-65748489962044799812012-12-10T18:20:19.141-06:002012-12-10T18:20:19.141-06:00Hi Stacy!

I want to be like that! I have her recipes in a special file but there aren't that many handwritten ones.

She was always a spitfire, just a little less confident in motion now. :) A few years ago she fractured a hip out in the front yard and then crawled back into the house on her knees.

She lived in a fairly rural community and I guess no one had a car in 1918 or 1919 when she would have started school at six years old. She finally sold her last car when she was 90 and decided on her own that she shouldn't be driving anymore.
