I think that is the most special part. Thanks for sharing.

I think we turned out all right for the most part, we have our faults, but mom did a great job in making sure we were diverse in the self-sufficient task of cooking, cleaning and the occasional sewing tasks. I still laugh to myself when my daughters come and ask for help with sewing, especially threading the sewing-machine correctly… I use our Family cook book all the time, with the refrigerator rolls being one of our favorite especially on Thanksgiving and Christmas… I like to reminisce about our childhood and the stories told of Grampa’s Grocery Store and stories alike, it always seemed like such a simple time back then compared to our lives today.. Love ya all, DEAN Hey Ter,

I've even started writing recipes in the margins that have to be in "my cookbook" I found a new recipe that dated back to Mom's childhood, so this year for Christmas I made the filled cookies. Yum!!

The very best recipes are always those handed down through the generations.

For some odd reason my brother and I also developed a taste for straight butter sandwiches. I tried these a few years back just to see if they still tasted as good as I remembered. They didn't :( The sugar sandwiches might still taste good, though. My family used to have the exact same sugar sandwiches when I was growing up!
