Grandma to a ton of kids and a step great grandma and still going strong. Love to cook, came to Wisconsin from Illinois 33 years ago and bought a resort and cooked 2 meals a day for about 20-40 people. Served American style. Loved it course I was younger then but sure did meet quite a few wonderful people and most were repeaters every year.
