I had a chance to read the Indian Corn story very cool :bigsmile:

I have an apple pie story.. When I was 13 I was informed I had another set of syblings that lived with my grandma (that I didn't know about either) anyway moving forward I visited them alot during High School then one time I went for a visit and decided to stay. I lived in the city at the time and they lived in the country! so I went to country girl quite fast and I LOVED the farm they lived on and finished up High School in Sebastopol, Calif.. we lived in a barn converted into a house with 28 acres.. anyway long story short my grandma used to bake apple pies on a wood stove, I used to watch my mom cook all the time so carrying on the tradition I'd watch my grandma. During the 70's money wasn't the easiest thing to come by so my grandma let me dig in and make apple pies we sold at a restaurant in Guerneville near the Russian River. I LOVED it! I have to say I can make a good apple pie all from scratch.. I have a few secrets from my grandma that I couldn't possibly give away some things are best kept between the one who taught you.. Everytime I make an apple pie I know my grandmother is there with me.. The little things in life like a homemade apple pie turn out to be big things :littleheart: This one's for you grandma :inlove:

Thank you girlfriend.. she was a german lady one of a kind.. could drink tea all day long lived to age 92.. I'll never forget her or the things I learned from her, she used to call me Shuggie (Sugar in Spanish) she was in the 1902 Earthquake at aged 2 and remembered everything through out her life and if you sat down to have tea with her, she could talk your ear off but you didn't mind a bit.. Here's a pic of me and her and my sister Jodie in white (looking like shes dancing lol) and the rest are cousins at the farm.. I think this is in the 70's I've got really short hair (with my head down lol) my grandma has the blonde highlited hair.. I found that throughout life cousins have been some of my closest family

and here's me with the syblings I found out about later.. this was about 8 years ago
