Me, too! Y'all have a good time, and learn lots! It's hard to find really good pie anymore. I thought I would just bake and cook away, once I retired. But, almost everything I have tried has flopped. I can't remember how my mama made pie crust, and the recipes I have tried just don't work. Frozen pie crusts are just awful, to me. I got up at 4 a.m. one morning, to make scones for my grandson's breakfast. What a mess! At 10 a.m., long after he had gone to school, I was still trying to fight with that dough! Stickiest mess I ever saw. Much worse than clay that I used at school when I was teaching. Finally, after adding much flour, I got something that I could handle, and baked it. They were edible, but I decided I would not try that recipe again! We had ladies who were such good cooks back home, and I grew up watching, listening to all their hints. The last one of those died at age 105 recently. Before she died, I asked her if she had a recipe for her neighbor's angel food or coconut cake. She said they were at her home (she was living in a nursing home), but she told me about her secret for making sweet potato pie, which was her own specialty, at our last school reunion. (We're having another one in a couple of weeks. We sure will miss her, and a lot of older folks. Sure feels strange to be "the older generation", now! The older folks have really disappeared since we started having these. There are still some from my father's generation, but their numbers have really dwindled. It was so interesting , when we first started having these all school reunions, when my grandfather was still alive at 96, and to meet people I had heard him, and my father, uncle, and others in town, talk about. I'm going to take some CDs of my pictures, and a lap top, and hope that some there can help to identify some of the people in the photos that I don't have a clue about. We should try to get some stories written down, too. Now that we are the older generation! It would be really interesting to see where my grandmother, Emma Arnett Miles, and her parents, Rhoda Carolyn Melton and Dr. James E. Arnett lived, along with the other children. I haven't gotten into the Melton's, or Dr. Arnett's first wives and their families. And it would be such a big thrill if I could find out Dr. Arnett's death and burial information! I feel sure that there must be a newspaper obit or something. He died just prior to Aug.1, 1913, when a deed detailing the disposition of his property was signed by his widow and children. Hope everyone has some good food, good visiting, and lots of success in finding information. Cecelia >I wish I were there to go to Joe's.
