Snickerdoodles will always be associated in my mind with Grandma Smullen …. Along with a million other things like her dump cake that she would leave a section of coconut off at the end because I didn’t like it on the top, or when Johnny Jump Ups come up and she would say they were her favorite flower, or how she loved phlox lining the flower bed and she would plant them in front of grandpas roses and get so mad when he would walk right through them to get to his flowers ( …. Or how Shannon knows this humorous story and quietly is sure I have both each spring to honor that memory ……. And he prefers pumpkin snickerdoodles to regular and that’s why these are in here). Cookies and tiny flowers and a million other things can bring back all kinds of memories esp this time of year. I have a million stored up – I hope my kids will too.
