After many years of life on earth, we will dearly miss our Grandma "Bell."
See you in Heaven.
In Memory of Lorraine C. Isbell
She always opened her home, and welcomed us with food and love every time we came to visit.
She tolerated all our cousin shenanagans and let us eat treats from her neighboor.
She always had a hug to give, and we will miss her dearly, but are glad her suffering on earth is done and she is rejoicing with the Lord in heaven!
"Life is a journey, not just a destination"
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Lao Tzu
"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

(I find that doing it in the order listed, and preparing all the dry ingredients together then slowly adding them to the wet mixture is easiest, but it doesn't matter.)3-4 cup grated zucchini (with rind, loosely packed)

05-1 cupRaisins (optional)
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients together.
Grease 2 loaf pans (medium or large size)
