Granny's Story
My grandmother, Maggie Mitchell, lived in Clover, Virginia.
She had nine children and became a widow at an early age. Her values in
life were church and family. Her motto for life was "If you don't
work , you will steal" and "Hard work will pay off in the end." She
lived on a farm and raised chickens, pigs, and a cow which she named
Bessie. She grew a vegetable garden which provided her family with food
all year long.
Every summer I would visit my grandmother, As the car, rounded
the dust road, I would jump for joy because she would be waiting
with love and good food. I was so happy to be sitting next to the old cast
iron stove watching her cook with a smile. I learned the joy of cooking
from my grandmother .
