I love coming across little items that my mother stuffed away - everyday things that give you a glimpse into their everyday lives. It's priceless! I'll have to try her soup recipe!
That's like a piece of her diary, really makes you feel close again. I love going through my mom's recipes, some are my grandma's and I love trying to figure out their terms for things sometimes...like clues to a good mystery. Fun!
Hope you have a Happy 2012!
Smile today. :)
Wow..what a difference in price!! Who knew that a shopping list could become so interesting!!
How wonderful that you found those. Unbelievable prices. I have a cookbook of my grandma's with some handwritten recipes on loose papers in the back...such a treasure.
Hmmmm how things have changed. My brother used to collect parking tickets in the late 40's, most were about sixpence, but there is the very odd one at a shilling or at 1 shilling and sixpence. Some places nowadays we cannot afford to park!!! Diane
