Old people stories are the best!

43. This Is The Real History--we should not forget it

Sadly many of today's generation have only used their ears for music. Every day we lose another story. My grandmother, like many years ago, found themselves orphans at a very young age. Other relatives already had a houseful and rarely opted to take on another. She was pushed onto a couple aunts who somehow "made a deal" to ship her several states away where she ended up working in a farm kitchen. She ended up as kitchen help(pies a specialty) and worked her way up to making at least 20 a day. She eventually got married but continued to make pies(only this time for her family). For the rest of her life she made at least one pie a day(usually 2 or 3) when company was coming. Though her kids felt she needed new equipment for her fabulous pies she insisted on using the back of an old cabinet door and used a rolling pin that only had one handle!
