Monz

In case you are wondering what or who is Monz. She is my grandmother, if she were still alive she would be 107 on July 4. She has been on my mind yesterday & today. I made me a new Recipe Box and transferred all of my recipes over & came upon some of hers. Most of them on paper written in pencil, some on bank deposit slips. She was a wonderful cook, but very few of her recipes had directions, just ingredients. Hers always came out great. She was my only living grandmother, (my mom's mother died when she was very young) I can almost taste her Tea Cakes just thinking about them now. She was a home maker and was home all day, so my brother and I stayed every day with her. I remember popcorn cooked on the stove in a kettle, I can feel the cold crisp sheets and how heavy the quilts were on me when I spent the night there. She had a quilting loom that hung from the ceiling over the bed I slept in. It was on a pulley system, so she could raise it out of the way.

All of my memories of her are wonderful, and I hope one day my grandchildren can remember me with the happy thoughts I have of her.
