Comments

We lived next door to Abram and Varila [Bingham] Simpson, my mother's parents, and she would ask me to make pudding for her and she would share it with me when I was about 11. She tried to teach me about herbs one time when I was about six , however I just wanted to hear her talk about when mom was a was a girl.
