Lucille Bond

Lucille Bond LOVED nothing better than creating! She created all day long. Willard Bond, her husband had helped her in the creation of a family. Their love had created three beautiful daughters, Wilhelmina Elizabeth (Willy), Roberta, (Bertie), and Alexandria (Alexa).

Her family gave her the motivation to create, beautiful meals, clean clothes, a lovely home, and a community that was a positive place to live. Lucille spent every minute of everyday "creating."

Even in Lucille's sleep she "created," the things that she needed and wanted to do the next day, the next week, the next month, she fell asleep "creating," and her dreams were filled with her "creations."

Lucille LOVED to cook. She adored taking raw ingredients and turning them into a savory broth, or stew. Making dessert that made her family smile brought her sincere joy. One of her favorite recipes was one of her simplest. Fresh egg noodles were a way that Lucille connected to her Mother and Grandmother who had both passed from this life.

Everytime she beat out the eggs, thicken with flour, and then rolled the preparation into a thin sheet she remembered her Mother teaching her with a huge smile. As she cut the noodles into long strips she remembered the way that her Grandmother had looked with a winter fire shining into her silvery crown of braids.

Yes, Lucille Bond loved to CREATE!
