Swimming & The High Jump

                                    I love this little photo of these young swimmers...can you say brrrrr?

Island Recipes

I know that every family has them, and here are a couple from my Grandma Marie's collection, from other island women.

Spirit Balls, by Alis Dubail...

Raisin Griddle Cookies, by Dorothy Groll...these are made on a griddle, but Dorothy said on the recipe that she would "use my electric frying pan when company drops in for the evening." Who doesn't love freshly made cookies when out visiting with friends?!

San Juan County Bank Book

Here's a fun piece of history...my Great-Grandpa Gunder's savings deposit book, from San Juan County Bank. Here's what the San Juan County bank customers recorded their bank transactions in back in the day; this one dates back to 1947! Notice the capital that the bank had back then; $35,000.
