5. What was their favorite dessert?

"1. I don't remember poems, but they sure loved lyrics to Church hymns.
2. Sweet corn and tomatoes from their garden. Yum! Favorite summer memories!
3. Rook, Skip-Bo, and any other card games.
4. Don't recall, but they really like Church artwork. Grandma enjoyed quilt art.
5. I don't remember any desert in particular, but Grandma did a good job on all of them. They liked their homemade things, as did everyone else!!!!!

They had a gift for making it fun for everyone, even if they didn't have two nickels to rub together. They were such a good example to me, and I learned so much from the both of them about marriage, raising children, living a good, honorable life, and having fun. I really miss them."

"2. I believe I have already said this but I will say it again. Grandma's Rolls were amazing! There were never enough of them. Also I loved all her cookies that she made.
3. Rook, Rook, Rook (is there anyother kind of game) JK
5. I don't know their favorite dessert, but I do remember having rice pudding (I think it was) and who ever had the pecan in theirs they would win something. Also, I remember having homemade icecream! What a treat! :)"

"I am fairly certain that way the rice pudding worked was if you had the WHOLE almond instead of a sliver or piece of an almond that you won grandpa and grandma taking you out to dinner. That was a yummy dessert with the strawberry Danish Dessert on top."
-Marlies

"The only question I can answer is the question about games.

They enjoyed playing card games. They liked to play Rook a lot. They played Rook with Harold and Margaret Robins regularly. It was probably at least once a month maybe oftener. When they were on their mission they played Skip-Bo with Mark and Renee Houser.

When we would play games as a family we would play Mormon Bridge or Hearts (Dirty Dora). If there were only a few of us we would also play Rook.
Mom and Dad liked to play games. I also remember playing games like Black Magic and Going to Heaven on a Broom ( I think that is what it was called), Do You Like Your Neighbor, Fruit Basket, The Animal Game just to name a few."
