August 13, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries


August 13, 1963
Tuesday, cloudy and cool, 60 high.  I picked peas and carrots and made pies.  Norma Ackely and husband were over at night a few minutes.  Girls went to Linda Kinsgley's, they picked them up. Rained nearly all night.
Comment:  Oh the pies...not sure what she made but she was famous for her apple pies and one she called "sour cream pie" that must have had thousands of calories per piece.  Not sure of the ingredients but it did include lots of raisins, meringue,  and of course, sour cream.  She never used a recipe, and before the Home Comfort Gas Range, she baked them all in a wood stove.  I guess she did it so many times that the whole thing became second nature....Not sure who the Ackelys are....

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
