My Grandma Buettner, Stella Mae, was a strong, loving, intelligent, Christian woman. She took care of me and my brothers when my mom was at work. 

My whole family (aunts, uncles and cousins) went to my Grandma's every Sunday for dinner. The kitchen smelled so good, when she would make dumplins' she would roll out the dough on her Hoosier cabinet. (pictured here)

Do you have a special food or memory that makes you feel good? I have a comfort sound, when the whole family- including the cousins from Iowa, would be here for the Holidays, the "grown ups" would play pinochle at the big kitchen table and us kids were in the living room watching TV. The aunts and uncles would just talk and laugh, That's my favorite sound.
