This isn't my piece of writing, but I have to include it here because it is a lovely little bit of family history. My aunt Marguerite, slightly older sister of my dad, was unable to attend my parents' wedding in 1948, as she was living in California and must not have been able to afford to come back to Minnesota at the time. This is the letter Grandma Reps wrote to Marguerite a week after the wedding. Priceless. And there's a nice frozen lemon dessert recipe, too.
