Since we have been going through a lot of my parents collections I saw this interesting large pan, I had a feeling that this pan had some history or story to it... will talking with my mother I found out that this pan is the one which my Grandma Gibson (my dad's mother) use to make all the holiday dinner in like the turkey. I can remember seeing this pan on the house on Walnut Avenue in Stockton in the basement, this pan would only come out in November and December each year. Since I already have a lot of big pans I didn't want it to go to Hospice so I thought it would look nice full of pumpkins and fall stuff for the October and November. When I called my mother she was thrilled that it was still in use then told me the story of the pan...
Great story (and photos) Karen. It always amazes me that the simplest items possess the greatest memories. For our family, it's a red and white polka-dot bowl that my mother used for pop corn. We still fight over it.
