I remember growing up my grandmother would always make her famous Old Fashion Butter Cake Recipe with Butter Icing. It was so yummy, and my mom has been stashing the recipe’s for years, lol. I know why she has done it. When all of us left home it was hard for her to let go. I think part of her was glad to have her time with my father, but she’s still mom and I cannot imagine how hard it is to let go and accept the fact that your children are all grown up. I know she gets a kick out of doing certain things for us. Cooking is one of them, you know nobody cooks better than mom and grandma.
