This week as I was leafing through the cookbook to choose a recipe to post, I came upon Mary's Cakey Fruit Pie and I thought...It's too bad I can't post the pictures with the recipes in this book.

The picture with my sister Mary's recipe is a picture of her and her youngest son Davey. Davey is a cute kid. Very happy. Kinda crazy. All of Mary's kids are outgoing and fun. Fun to be with. Her Daughter Stephanie turned 21 last week and wanted all of us to wear mini-skirts and high heels to go out with her for her first official (read: Legal) drinks in a bar.

Those of who tossed our miniskirts out during the Clinton administration had to beg off.

But seriously, the real fun of this cookbook is the pictures. All of us are represented at various ages and weights. With hair styles that somebody in some era obviously thought was a good idea.

Reading the book, using the recipes, is like being there with our family. Remembering things we'd forgotten.

Once again, I have to thank my sister Tammy for taking charge and getting this done!
