Happy Birthday, Cousin Mutty!

Here are some flowers for you, to celebrate your birthday!

Cousin Mutty is the youngest of my cousins, but we're all old now! She, fortunately, doesn't look it!

When I was digging out recipes this weekend, I found several that were from her mom, my aunt Grace. Mutty asked if I'd found the sour cream coffee cake recipe -- I knew there was a coffee cake of Gracie's, but not sure if it was the sour cream one.

It was! So, as a special birthday greeting, here's Gracie's coffee cake mix, from April 1960. (I won't say how old Mutty was then, but she wasn't five yet.)
