living room is an old meodeon
which belonged to her great aunt,
Catharine Jones, on her father’s
side of her family, and for whom
she was named. She doesn’t know
how old it really is but she even
has an old cover that her aunt

If there’s one thing Kitty enjoys
particularly it is cooking and
entertaining. Her son says "Mom

meeting again” when he sees her
getting out the ingredients for her
famous hot cinnamon buns that
she pulls out of the oven just at
the right time for her guests.
She cans and freezes quantities
of the vegetables she grows in her
garden and the fruits of summer
for year-round table use. She not
only works m the garden but
tends to the lawn as well. Her
house is neat and tidy but there’s
always room for her grand
children to spread out their toys
which she has handy for them
Mrs. Wanner says “I can cook
and I can tend to the kids”,
meaning her grandchildren. She
is happy to give the recipe for her
cinnamon buns, some other
favorite baked delights and some
different recipes for zucchini
