We had a couple of impromptu gathering at Aurea and Dave's place in Glen Carbon, Illinois when Norma was recently in St. Louis.
Pictured above are Aurea (my mom's oldest sister) and Lois (my mom's youngest sister) and they are both fabulous, efficient cooks. They take after their mother/my Grandma who raised nine children, prepared 3 square meals a day for her family and the hired hands on the farm, raised chickens, managed my grandfather (Louie) and still had time to quilt. By the time grandkids and great grandkids came along, she was preparing holiday feasts for more than 40 people. It was nothing for her to make a dozen pies before lunch. Aurea and Lois are like that too.
Four of the 9: Aurea, Norma, Lois and Melvin, joined by husbands, kids and grandkids.
