The word Legacies to me has many definitions. So After some research. These are some I found.

1.) Memories passed down by word of mouth.

2.) To be remembered.

3.) What one leaves behind.

By Franklin T. Wike, Jr.

Growing up, I used to spend the summers with my grandparents, Warren and Marion Hostetter. They had a small truck patch type farm consisting of around 10 acres in Mishawaka, Indiana. The main reason I spent my summers with them, was to help out on the farm and while those years created some great memories, I think my favorite memories involve the time I spent in Grandmas Kitchen. My grandmother was ALWAYS cleaning fresh vegetables and canning them. She was a fantastic cook and I still miss the great foods she used to make.
