I was born Jan. 8, 1942 in IL. I moved to IN in Dec. of 1952. First married in 1960. I have two sons and two daughters and 10 grandchildren. Divorced and remarried in the early 2000's. DH and I are both retired and mainly concentrate on quilting. We are involved with our church. I don't cook as much as I used to, due to developing fibromyalgia and being in pain a lot of days. I love to make homemade bread and yeast breads. An Amish bread recipe I got from here is my favorite. I love to do baking most of all. I also really like to prepare a big dinner for Thanksgiving and Christmas. We always have mainly the same things on Thanksgiving and Christmas, mainly because we like them and it is what my mother made: turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread dressing, sweet potatoes, hot rolls, Kansas Corn Bake, pumpkin pie. Everyone one else fills in with the rest. I think it would be my first turkey I roasted for the first Thanksgiving I hosted in my late 20's or early 30's. Also a four tier cake I made for my parents' 40th anniversary. Oh, I am sure there are several, but the one that always stands out in my memory is a white chocolate cake I made for a family gathering. The thing was as flat as a pancake, but my, the icing was good!!
