Recipes

Our church had a dinner and I was asked to bring bars. I took out my recipe box and started searching. I should file recipes by category, but usually the most recently used ones get put away in the front of the box. As I looked, I came across the sugar cookie recipe from Sue. She brought cookies to the hospital when Laura was born. There was a chicken casserole from a friend that had us over for dinner in medical school. Some recipes were in a child's handwriting, from Ms. Clement's fifth grade class. Aunt Bessie's cinnamon coffee cake is my favorite, though I can't remember whose aunt Bessie was. I realized part of my family history is in that box. Certainly, memories of good times and loves ones come alive when we share around the table.
