Ok, I was not sure how old it was. Just that I'm 47 and mom died when
she was 68 and that was 7 years ago. I thought she got it from her mom
but I could be wrong. There are pictures of pies and stuff on the cover.

It has a LOT of moms hand written notes all over the covers and some of
the recipes.
