About "Minnie's Book":
My grandmother, Minnie Fitzhugh Dennis 1889-1947 of Stewart County, had a
"recipe book" in which are recipes as well as notes on her "egg sales"
dating from 1911 up until not long before she died. I was privileged to
examine this book and to copy much from it, as my aunt pulled it
out along with other family keepsakes to show to me that I might know what
she had and what the importance of some of the things she had kept were that
I might not otherwise have understood the significance of. Naturally my
grandmother's book was an easy one to see the beauty of.... I will be
sharing some things "From Minnie's Book" along with you. -jan

Shampoo Solution

2 oz. neutral soap
1 quart rainwater
8 drops oil of lavendar
Shave the soap, add the water and heat until the soap is dissolved. Oil of
lavendar or oil of lemon verbena may be added for fragrance. This makes
about one quart and costs perhaps one cent. It can be stored in a bottle or
quart jar.
