Notes: When Grandma Hall lived in Norton Kansas, she had several fruit trees in her backyard. Apple, peach and cherry. Each grandchild had a bucket and we would pick our favorite fruit (mine was cherry). She would take our buckets and bake each of us our own little pie with the fruit we had picked.
