Personal Notes:
I have fond memories of going to Irwin to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Brue. They were fun grandparents. It was extra special to go there when our Brue cousins were there. It was really neat to sit out on the porch in the summertime. I still remember Grandpa smoking all those cigarette out there.
Last summer when my sibs (Carol, Toni and Bruce) came to Iowa for a school reunion, Toni brought lefsa and we really enjoyed it. It brought back warm fuzzies of when we ate it as children. It was also a reminder of our heritage, of which we are proud of.
My mother (Evelyn Brue Antone) was a very good cook. We all loved her wonderful bread and cinnamon rolls. I still love to make them. The difference is that I often use frozen cinnamon rolls and add the yummy caramel and pecans on the bottom and use a bread maker for making bread. That may be cheating, but I find them quite good and soo much faster and easier!
