Notes
Melanie Boecklin shared this recipe with me. She was a co-worker with Brian and me at Henderson Realty. We managed University Park, a student mobile home park, together while Brian was in school at Auburn University. We both love Melanie dearly, as she was a very calm presence in our life during a crazy, busy time. She is such a kind, gentle motherly type. We juggled a lot for a very long time. We had four children when Brian graduated from Auburn. The last two were born in Huntsville. Oh, how I wish we could have seen Melanie more over the years. Everyone needs a calm, loving friend like Melanie.
