The potatoes were often served in this brown crockery bowl pictured above sitting on the dinner table. Enjoying this meal are left to right is Grandma Loene Hayes, Uncle Leslie (standing), Grandpa James Wesley Hayes and Aunt Lola Hayes.
This yummy dish was served up with a heaping helping of laughter, love and belonging to a family that cared and enjoyed being together.
I am still amazed at the way Grandma made her noodles. She mixed up the ingredients right on her cutting board. I am so blessed to have a photo of this precious memory.
While visiting my Dad in 2008 my Uncle Leslie graciously presented to me grandma's stoneware bowl. His generous gift nearly brought me to tears. It is now one of my greatest treasures.

I hope that there are some that enjoy this story from the Hayes family. My father was the last Hayes. He has three children, ten grandchildren and at last count twenty six ggrandchildren and two gggrandchildren. A large legacy for sure but he was the last to bear the Hayes family name.
Uncle Leslie had no children, Lola had four with the last name Cowdin and the youngest Aunt Nancy (not pictured) had one daughter with the surname Crosby.
