I know that whenever I open the mailbox and find a letter from Phyllis Thurman that it is going to be filled with good things.  The last time I saw Phyllis was at the Old Washington Celebration and she was dressed as an early settler and was talking to a “Native American” woman, and did they ever look the part!  I had not heard from her in a while, but after I read her letter, I could understand why!  Hurry and get well, Phyllis, and thanks for sharing these delicious recipes with us today.
 
In her letter Phyllis writes:
 
I wanted to share some recipes of two best friends that I lost ten days apart, and they both lived in Decatur.  I met Edna Wiggins on this side of the river when she worked at Smith’s Country Store here in Old Washington.  When I went to work at Piggly Wiggly in Decatur, I met Ruth Pratt.  The Lord has blessed me with friends both young and old, and these were two of the nicest women I ever knew.
