A Delicious Recipe for Apple Pie from the 1800's From Delia: I’d like to share a recipe from Heart’s Haven, if I may… Back in the 1800s, when Hart House was operational as a boarding facility, Lily Hart’s apple pie was famous.

I’m a wife of 37 years, a mother to four adult children, and Nanny to nine, counting the five extra grandchildren God “brought” into our family. I enjoy singing, and especially enjoy Southern Gospel music. And I enjoy designing marketing products, such as business cards, bookmarks, flyers, postcards, etc. Were you an avid reader as a child? What did you read? It would probably be easier to say what I didn’t read! J I’ve loved books ever since I was introduced to “Dick and Jane.” (Okay, I know, that really dates me, doesn’t...

The winner is... Congratulations!  Delia Latham
