Started this post, yesterday... 

Was thinking about 'Thanksgiving's Past'.

Had started an entirely different post, but...

decided to switch directions.

: )

Was going to title that post...

'Holiday... 'rules'.'

Never realized it, until now... but, I've always... had them, since I moved out... on my own, with...

Beloved, Dolsey, {Great Dane} at 15.

'Holiday Rules'.

It's gonna take more, than a 'moment'... to pull that story together.

: )

Stay Tuned.

Searching for some interesting Pie recipes.

When I go through these early... Cook Books, oh my.

I've collected them, for years.

The ones printed before, 1900...

I, truly... Fall Down a Rabbit Hole, while reading them.

In the 1880's, and 90's...

most Folk's in Iowa... didn't have indoor plumbing.

No electricity.

Farmed... with Horses, and Mules.
