One of the reasons I was in LA last week was to go through some of things that my Grandmom left to me. This was one of them.
She used to love to entertain, a hobby that I may have picked up from her. There are photos of her in dressy aprons entertaining guests in her home, lots of crystal wine glasses, serving trays, some of those aprons, too. And there were stories. Trysts of long ago involving my great-great relatives. One story involved a young German man and an Indian girl which took place in Missouri.
