I love this...it's so endearing and lovely. The fact that you're a baker and use her pastry cutters elicited an emotion inside me that was tangible. Like a big warm biscuit for my heart. Thank you. ♥️

(And the composition of your photo is perfect!)

Aww, beautiful story, and that generation seemed made of sturdier stock. They soldiered on and made lives for themselves in spite of hardship. I am so glad that you are who you are because you have her in you.... that's such a sweet legacy.... thank you for sharing her story.

Thank you for this story. It reminds me of days in the kitchen with my own grandparents who were of the same generation. We helped Nana with the cakes are cookies and Grampa with the pies. It's sad that we seem to have lost those old activities that strengthened the bonds within families.

Each year I go into my local school and teach all the kids, Grades K-8, to make bread. I think we can keep those old things if we try.
