I've just spent an awesome day with Greg, Amy, Will, Katie & Bryant in St. Louis. We ate breakfast at the hotel, went to JoAnn's for fabric (stuff for baby "Olive" too), went to Arch & Westward Expansion Museum and then onto the Anhaueser Busch Brewing Company for a free tour. Pictures will come later...the camera is in the car right now.
I love cookbooks and the newest one will be really interesting to read...Here is what the cover says....
"Housekeeping Made Easy. Mrs. Hill's New Cook Book, A practical system for Private families, in town and country. With directions for Carving and arranging the table for dinner, parties, etc. Together with many medical and miscellaneous receipts extremely useful in families"
by Mrs. A.P. Hill widow of Hon. Edward Y. Hill, of GA
Originally published in 1867.
We've already read what to do for Lockjaw ~ pretty much we've decided the cure just hastened your demise. Or, after "taking the cure", dying would have been easier. I am looking forward to reading this 416 page Historical Homekeeping Manual!
Thanks Greg!

Welcome to the farm ~ we are a blended family with 7 children (3 are married), 4 grandsons, 5 dogs, 3 rabbits, and 15 chickens living on 3 acres in Georgia. I love crafting, sewing, cooking & canning, recipes of all kinds, reading, playing with my little buddies, family time, travel, pinterest and most of all the Lord.
