Written about "Grandma Christy" by Betty Jean (Christensen) Goedde on March 12, 2001:
" I can remember the smell of freshly baked graham
bread when we would visit her home. She also made wonderful
peanut butter cookies. She sewed many dresses (from feed sacks)
for your Mom and myself, each would have a pocket and inside...a
hanky (I still have quite a collection of those hankies....some, she
crocheted an edge around them.) I've added to this collection...some
given to me on special occasions."

April 2001, Peggy Joan (Christensen) Paulson remembers: "Grandma Christy always had 'store bought' wafer cookies. We never had store bought cookies at home and these were the best cookies."
