Friends Food | Meemaw Eats

Even though we had barely unpacked, I couldn’t wait to whip up some simple appetizers before our McMinnville friends arrived, so I headed to the tiny kitchen to get to work. Connie (our AirBnB host) had even provided a cutting board in the compact kitchen cupboard…and it worked just fine as a serving platter! We […]

Portland Family | Meemaw Eats

Our overnight in Portland was a chance to reconnect with family…namely Peepaw’s brother Steve and his wife Lucy. They met us with hugs, and a glass of wine to be consumed in the breathtaking beauty of their back yard. What a serene, peaceful place to collect our thoughts and reconnect with people we love. Sis-in-law Lucy made […]

McCall Cousins | Meemaw Eats

It’s not easy to get to McCall, Idaho unless you’re a bird. Or you own a plane. That winding, narrow mountain road from Boise to McCall can be a white knuckle trip along the beautiful whitewater rapids of the Payette River. But let me assure you, that trip to McCall was worth the effort for […]

Baseball Family | Meemaw Eats

Our Iowa son’s family is a baseball family.  Let me rephrase that. They are a BALL family. There is no question about it. Those three boys and one girl have been playing ball, ANY kind of ball,  since before they could walk. And these two photos I ran across today, taken in 2007, should prove […]

Kalona Grocery Store | Meemaw Eats

While thumbing through a box of old photos I came across this one of my Aunt Carol and Uncle Lloyd in their grocery store, circa 1947…taken three years before I was born!
