We are both in our sixties now and have been through the deaths of both Mom and Dad, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and more. Live is for the living – as my late Aunt used to say.

My aunt gifts her nieces and nephews with loaves of homemade cinnamon bread every Christmas. I realize not everyone has family heirlooms to give away, but my grandmother has been downsizing and gifting her grandchildren pieces from her Fostoria Glass collection that were my grandparents wedding gifts back in 1945. Baked Goods.
