My mother-in-law would have been 98 years old today.
I truly miss her.
I would have baked this cake for you today, Mom.
It was your favorite!!

Cream oil and sugar together. Add eggs and beat. Sift flour, soda, salt and cinnamon together. Mash bananas and add to sugar mixture. Add pineapple and then the flour. Add nuts. Bake in a 13x9" pan at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

The picture of the church in the collage is a church built on land
donated by my father-in-law. Printed on the sign is,
"God can be your best friend"... my mother-in-law always reminded people
of this. How true!
