Pumpkin Bread

Huck was a very sweet lady that was our neighbor, fellow church member, and like a Grandma to me. She was very dear to my heart.  I can remember going to her house and staying all day.  We would bake, work on quilts, play with dolls, and go on adventures like feeding hay with her son in the snow.  Huckie was an excellent cook!  I only have a few of her recipes but I cherish those!
