in rural western Oregon.The parents met the
hardships of starting a new life with such faith and courage that the
children knew little of the difficulties being faced each day.
Instead,
deep love and understanding softened the discomforts and united the
family.
In Hot Biscuits and Scrambled Eggs, the author shares that love: first as a child, as a young girl living on her father's homestead which bordered the Pacific Ocean , where their neighbors were friendly Indians; later as a one-room school teacher, a farmer's wife and mother of two daughters; and finally, after the death of her husband, as a self-sufficient participant in the business world until her retirement at 82.

Laura Susan Bones Crook died in 1983 at
the age of 94.
I thought that all the copies of her book had disappeared long ago. In going through a box of some old family "treasures" I found two copies of this wonderful memoir. I'd like to share it with you here.
