I can remember my Mom's recipe box and her handwritten cards. My sister got it when when my Mom died. She is gone now and I need to find out what happened to the recipes.<br />How sweet for your sis to send you that old recipe book with so many memories of another's family for you to enjoy. <br />Oh, and I do have my mom's recipe for fudge and divinity, but never got them right. She knew just when the "soft ball" stage was by dropping some in a cup of water and made the most delicious candy.<br />Catching up tonight on some blog reading...I always enjoy coming here.

It was a yummy cake, very moist, but I can't find my copy of this easy recipe anyplace. <br /><br />SewCalGal<br />www.sewcalgal.blogspot.comSewCalGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02062059207544865569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292206568894855007.post-45146596876429896462012-08-23T19:20:57.085-07:002012-08-23T19:20:57.085-07:00How fun for you.

Same thing with the cards, many in my mom's handwriting, and some I can recognize and some not. What a beautiful memory!! My mom's gone now, but I wonder whatever became of her beloved recipe box? Sure would be a treasure if someday it turned up in my life. What a loving gesture from a sister who must love you very much...that, in itself is a treasure!!C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292206568894855007.post-86027090985682989072012-08-23T10:25:03.490-07:002012-08-23T10:25:03.490-07:00Your post today is Beautiful!

As far as recipes go - well, sadly I am not one of those people who like to cook. But I saved my purple plastic recipe notebook from 7th grade Home Economics class because I did like the things we made and thought I would make them when I was 'bigger'. It's time, right? I'm bigger - let's break out the notebooks and cook!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546665152551295255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3292206568894855007.post-84901833467326242142012-08-23T08:30:02.903-07:002012-08-23T08:30:02.903-07:00What a great story...and sister!!

I know my recipes by the writing or the smudges on them. Such wonderful memories.<br /><br />My sister got my grandmother's treasured recipe box and in a move this year her entire household contents were "lost". One of the things she was most upset about was the loss of the recipe box.
