from my perspective . . .
Oh my . . . word is getting around about this website and lots of good reviews and leads for more photos and stories come each day. I bow to the joyful spirit which seems to accompany these photos and stories as they travel hither and yon. By all means, send the link on to others and encourage them to check back often. I am happy to put new readers on the notification email list when something new is added. One email came from Geraldean Johnson about the Stephen's store: "My memories of Stephen's store is that it always had the best stuff first . . . like pomegranates and coconuts. That was when you had seasonal stuff. It was a store that was cool inside when it was hot outside. Crazy the things kids remember." Another
email came from Cliff Stephen's great, great niece: Well, that peaked my interest, so I went right to the source . . . Mary Stephens Waller, for her mother Heppie's Lazy Daisy Cake recipe. Here it is: Recipe: LAZY DAISY CAKE From
the Kitchen of HEPPIE INGREDIENTS
2 EGGS Directions
BEAT EGGS, ADD SUGAR AND VANILLA; BEAT AGAIN. ADD SALT, FLOUR
AND BAKING POWDER. BAKE IN OBLONG PYREX PAN:

TBSP. MELTED BUTTER 5 TBSP. BR. SUGAR SPREAD
ON CAKE WHEN DONE AND SET UNDER BROILER TO BROWN. AND before I could rustle up the ingredients, Ray called and had a few pieces saved for Eb and I . . .
I'll be adding this recipe to my file! Yummmmmmm.
Maybe someone 'out there' knows more about this paper and can report back to us.
And
you think everyone knows
This answer came from Carol Maplesden to the question of 'who was the guy pumping gas at Matt's Service Station'??? "You know the fellow putting gas in his car that Eb thought might be Carl...??? Could that be Bud Carlberg who owned (?) the Etna theater around that time? He looks a little like I remember, though I only saw him a time or two." Eb said 'YESSSSSS'!!! and another mystery has been solved. In the Western Sentinel May 3, 1939 article 'R. Smith Remodels Service Station' it mentioned he was tearing down the old roof and part of the back of the building which was at one time a blacksmith shop. I remembered seeing photos of an old Blacksmith Shop in Etna but couldn't find my copies. I wondered if that was the one being torn down. Again Carol was helpful when she wrote: "I have an old photo of Charles' father's blacksmith shop in Etna. However it was where Ray's Market is now (then called School Street). Three Maplesden brothers stand in front of the door."
"This exterior photo is in an original frame made by Uncle Whit Maplesden with writing on the back and I don't want to try to take it out of the frame so we can try scanning it."
Soooooo precious when people are willing to share from their personal photo albums the memories of those who have helped to weave the Tapestry of their lives. In joy! Che'usa Thanks
