Thanks Cyg, I like hearing your history as I do everyone else here... wish more would share
🙏 Cowface. It’s not always that I share something, but it was a childhood memory that I thought was comical and wanted to share.

Have a great evening.

Sounds like the story of my life... I never was one for cats... but my wee little daughter wanted a kitten... so we got her one. One morning I went to go to work... and I started up my truck... and I heard a thump, thump, thump
That's sad, Cowface.
I keep my cats indoors when the weather is cold to avoid that demise.
I will always have a barn cat - keeps the rats at bay.
And they are always soft to the touch..

How are you and your pretty one doing?

Freshly baked pies, hot out of the oven, cooling off on Mama's windowsill.

There was a time when I was with friends and we decided that we would go to the gas station where we got some huge tractor tiree.
Well, one asked who would be brave enough to get inside while they roll it down a hill that wasn’t a really steep grade.

I volunteered, got in...
and it was one hell of a ride. 😂

My Mom & Grandma always used Crisco.
I preferred a much more flaky crust and chose TenderFlake - for pies.
The only time I would use Crisco was for tarts where I would want a slightly more firmer pastry.
I liked pies with the fluted edge or lattice top, whereas my Mom pressed a fork around the edges of hers.

I used the left-over dough the same as you - Yum - I can taste it now. lol

Perhaps, you should rekindle that memory of your Momma's recipe, and make your pretty Mrs. a shrimp gumbo pie.

This is a good suggestion... one which I will consider. Thanks. I think Mom used butter in her pie crusts. Her pies were so good she was hired to bake pies in a local resteraunt early every morning.

Pioneer, hard-working woman - I love it.
That's a keepsake memory to always cherish.
Heirloom recipes are all we have left to pass on to our next generation.
I hope you find her heritage recipe - she sounds like she was a wonderful Mother.

No, thank you - I would not appreciate a corn cob up my a.s.s. or anywhere near it -
Or, the Sears catalogue pages my Grandparents spoke of using.

However, I did order many other items of necessity from there.
Thank goodness for charmin'
How are you, Sir?

We are doing very well and hope the same for you on whatever island you may be this night. We drive by the Grandparents old home place now and then. The property was sold when they both passed. The house is tore down as well is the out house... but Granpa's old unpainted barn still stands out back. I remember They were strick Mennonites and Grandma ran a tight ship. Grandpa had to sneak out back to that old barn for a smoke or chew now and then. No one but nobody smoked in front of Grandma... and I think our whole family smoked. Grandma was highly respected. I still can remember after Grandpa passed then Grandma took over the responsibility of saying grace over the meals. Boy could she pray... my brother and I and all the cousins have all tried to remember what her table prayer was. We can all here how she said it and the tone of her voice... but none of can remember the prayer exactly

Anybody swing on a gravevine, I did as a kid and am still alive!  :)
I sure did.
When I was small I thought I could swing on an apple tree limb. Done that many times but one day that limb broke and here I went out over the hillside and down I slam to the ground..I was ok..Just lucky I didn't get the breathe knocked out of me or something broke.
