Counting Calendars

Submitted by SuzieQ on Wed, 03/06/2019 - 4:19pm.

In his wonderful book "Blue Highways," William Least Heat Moon wrote that he always looked for cafes and diners with the most calendars. Apparently the food in those establishments was always better than anywhere else. I'm counting three in this kitchen. And look at that clean oven. I'm thinking the food was really good here.

The family of Peter and Margaret Andrews included at least eight children. Pictured here are probably Manuel, the youngest son, Daniel, and daughter Elinor. Peter came from Cape Verde and Margaret from the Azores. Researching their history got me craving Portuguese Fried Dough, and then I realized today is Fat Tuesday, the perfect day for such sweets.

Googling Peter V Andrews I stumbled on this 1940 census record, he is listed as negro? Then I found this fascinating article about Peter's grand-nephew.
