Here you'll find homemaking related posts. Today I thought it would be fun to introduce myself and tell you A little about me . . .
As a little girl I dreamed of being a wife and a mommy
As a young bride back in the 70's I received a special cookbook from my mother. . .
Betty became my 'go to girl'. But I loved reading cookbooks. I have collected cookbooks throughout my marriage. I have a huge
collection.
Things have changed a lot since those early days in the 70's.
My 'go to' place is Pinterest.
And now over 30 years later my Cowboy and I have raised two wonderful kids and are now grandparents and are empty nesters.
So I am cooking for two again. I still love cooking!
I love visiting my friends in the blog world for cooking ideas and for tips and just fun things.
The other day I a fun meme that was perfect for my 'a little about me' post. A to Z about me . . .

Hi,
I enjoyed reading your answers and getting to know you. Have a great week!!
You've stirred up my memomries. In 1967, as a new bride my only cookbook was the "I Hate to Cook Book". I wore it out. My niece asked if she could have it last year. Glad to share it though the cover was long ago worn off. I can still cook the recipes branded in my brain. xo Jenny
This was a fun post Sherry :) Better Crocker was my first cookbook given to me by my mother in law too (she is still my go-to after all these years)... Thanks for sharing with us!
