Tracey's Place

Silly hat night with the girls

Tracey was so tickled to be invited to this annual event by Anita Nelson (who would later be Zuzu's Godmother). Every woman invited to the party had to create a silly hat for the event. Tracey's colander creation survived the party; I still use it today--for a more conventional purpose.

Thankful for our days of giving

If you read down further, you'll see how Tracey loved Thanksgiving. It was really the start of her adventures with cooking. Here's the culmination of her efforts: our last Thanksgiving six years ago. The perfect bird from her dream oven; she picked every appliance in that kitchen and later added whatever was missing. Though she chose an  convection-capable oven, she preferred the conventional approach.

Tracey loved nothing more than to be in a garden
