PSA: Found my grandma's old bread recipe tucked in a cookbook last Tuesday

I was cleaning out my kitchen and pulled out this beat-up cookbook from 1972 that belonged to my grandmother. Inside was a handwritten note with her white bread recipe and a little stain from what must've been butter from her last batch. Has anyone else stumbled on a family recipe hidden somewhere unexpected?

Did you notice if the handwriting changed at all in the recipe? I heard somewhere that old family recipes passed down by hand often have little tweaks added by each person who copied them. That butter stain sounds like a sweet little proof your grandma really used that recipe.

Grandma's recipe box had this one for lemon cookies that had a coffee stain shaped like a dog's face right next to the oven temperature. Makes you wonder how many batches got made with "a little extra love" because someone couldn't read the smudged number.
