Day 19: Jetta's Handwriting.

There is something so special about someone's handwriting when they are gone.  I guess it is special because there will never be handwriting from Jetta again.  So the writings I have are doubly special.  She wrote up a lot of recipes years ago and I used them a lot.  There are the special recipes that we all loved and here is a sampling of the recipes we loved in her handwriting except one.  More on that one later.




This is a big chocolate chip cookie used to decorate for a birthday.


The original pound cake that also had butter sauce.


Another cake used as a birthday cake, then decorated, Jetta style.


Not her handwriting but those who knew her knew that this was her favorite, toffee bars.  She was the expert at these.  This recipe shows how much we all love them.


Everyone loves these brownies.


Another Jetta favorite cookie.  Jetta LOVED cookies.  They were a real comfort food for her.


Another dessert, but we loved our sweets.


Yes, husband there is squash in this casserole, but it was wonderful.


This was a favorite "salad" which really is a dessert but we ate it as a salad.  

Enjoy reminiscing and enjoying Jetta's handwriting.
