that looks awesome!
I had an amazing find easter weekend. I went to my parents house to see my uncle and cousin over from Wyoming. Been about 7 years since i saw my cousin last. They came over to visit, my uncle and come over yearly. Was a treat i guess you could say to see my cousin. Had lots of fun reminiscing. My grandmother recently was moved into assisted living, she fell down again and called my parents, said she'd had enough, she wanted to move. So this year my uncle's family came to look through her things she was giving to the family.
I have pictures of her high school diploma from 1934 and whole bunch of memories now.
The amazing find was one of her old cookbooks. Printed date shows 1903. It was my great grandmother's cook book. The local women's club made it, all of the members back then contributed recipes (they called them receipts) to make the cookbook. Grandma said there's recipes in that book from her grandmother, who was born during the civil war and lived through the "wild west" in Illinois and then Wyoming.
I think i'll have to scan it and make it digital, the pages are showing their age and i don't want to ruin it I haven't had a chance to look through it all yet, but there's some familiar recipes in there. Like chili, and cornbread. I'll have to post any interesting recipes it has.
