Ladell Tutt lays out all the ingredients to her famous pound cake recipe Saturday at her home in Cornelia. Tutt’s recipe is in the book “Walking and Talking with Mom: A Collection of Shorts,” which was written by Tutt’s daughter Teddy. The younger Tutt was inspired to put her mother’s stories to paper as they took walks together. - photo by JOSHUA JONES
