Notes: This recipe was on a torn 1/2 page of old, old paper. On the back was a partial letter. What I could read said, "Gee I'll bet the country is in for a siege. Do you remember the flood of 1937 when you and I wasn't out of the house for 6 weeks. Every one is expecting another winter just like it as they say history repeats itself every 10 years. Well we might be in for it, I don't know. I have put out the rose cuttings." It looks like Grammy's handwriting but who would she have been writing to - her mother?
