- Mrs. Elsie Waters on right; Mrs. Susan Dechnik on left; fast disappearing cookies on table
In the summary for the last HSR meeting held at Riverton School in October I mentioned the scrumptious homemade gingersnaps that HSR Board member Mrs. Elsie Waters made for the refreshment table. You may have missed the post if you never check out the Programs & Events tab.
Elsie is always making something unexpected yet so perfect for the occasion.
Case in point – those delectable spicy ginger cookies were just the thing to get us all in a fall mood for the first meeting after the summer break. Click on this link for the PDF file for Elsie’s Old Fashion Ginger Snaps. You can print out a facsimile of Elsie’s two-sided recipe card.
Very classy, Elsie.
My two favorite photos of Elsie.
Fittingly, she is in a carriage in both shots.
She has fit in a lifetime of Riverton memories and experiences in between those two moments.
Readers may recall seeing pictures and references to Elsie before, as she is a vital part of Riverton and exemplifies what being an active member of the Society means.
Very classy, indeed.
