  1. We used to visit Aunt Mattie and Aunt Reba in Shenandoah. They lived in a house with 2 kitchens. Aunt Reba reserved one of them exclusively for baking and there were always sweet goodies when we visited

    1. Did you ever hear the "Bobby Lucas stirs the gravy" story? If so, do you know who Bobby Lucas was?

    2. I have not hear that story and I can't say I ever heard Bobby Lucas mentioned either.

  2. Sorry, Wendy, this is Gil Steppe. I have not idea why I show up as Unknown in my comments. Please pop me an email if you have any ideas how to fix this.

    1. This happens to me if I'm on my iPad - for some reason it doesn't recognize that I have a Google account. If I go to the computer, right away it knows me and shows my picture. I would try just signing into your Google account on whatever device you are using.
