I just bought three new cookbooks from the wonderful group of ladies at the Bryan County Genealogy Library and Archives. The book includes 255 pages of great recipes, home remedies, beauty advice, and household tips, plus original drawings by Tresa Stagg and photos of historic places in Bryan County. The cost is $15 at the library, or $18.50 for mail orders. Order from the library at P.O. Box 153, Calera, Oklahoma 74730. (If you live near Calera stop in and visit with them. The library is located just a block north of the police station.)
