I thought I had lost it. It being – Uncle Raymon’s Coconut Pie recipe. Uncle Raymon was an interesting individual. He was married to my mother’s sister, Aunt Lois. (Yes, the Aunt Lois that is 101 years young.) He was a Junior High School principal, a shoe salesman, and an usher at the […]

Of course, now days I guess the name should be Billion Dollar Pound Cake. Hot Rod’s assessment, “Soft , moist, dense, […]
Love to watch the TV series Downton Abbey. The Buds (friends) gather to watch the show each Sunday night.
