Homemade Pumpkin Rolls
In Jamestown Tennessee, there are people from all walks of life. These people touch your heart and help you when you need it. I have known Mrs. Blevins since I was a child starting school. What started out as your normal cook at the school and a child thankful to get through the school year spun into something much more for my family, although I am no longer in school and she is now retired. This recipe is hers and some of the photos capture this wonderful lady at work. We are very thankful to wonderful people such as Mrs. Blevins for allowing us to capture their hands at work, share their recipes, and most of all their wonderful personality. They are wonderful assets to the community.
