A Special Cake Recipe

Aunt Margie didn't title this, we did. It has been cake for company for many years around here. We make it in a bundt pan..........be careful not to have a pan where the batter is too deep or it will not get done in the middle.
Aunt Margie died this past Sunday morning. I didn't know her very well, but we spoke of her often just because of this recipe. I'm glad I have it in her own handwriting. She brought this cake to a family reunion a LONG time ago.......anybody that has tasted it, has loved it. And yes, that IS a lot of oil to add to a recipe!!! Feel free to use it for *your* company.

AUNT MARGIE'S CAKE

1 1/2 cup oil
2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

mix

3 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmet

sift 3 times
add to above ingredients

2 cup cut up pears or apples
1 cup chopped nuts

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
