They bombed Bailey Town in 1943 so despite the fact that we were headed to the Baileys of Bailey town reunion we couldn't eat there or Dividing Creek where many of Jeanne's ancestors grew up. But we did find Winfield's near our motel and were delighted. The food and wine were top notch . A good red sauce and tasty pork in particular.
Bailey town became a practice artillery and air bombing range for WW11...the museum on aviation nearby was worth a visit. Discovering Ariana Pashleys head stone was a thrill...first woman lighthouse keeper on The Delaware. Stories of one Scot,a Bailey, who operated his oyster boat solo added color to the family tree. Cousin Bob and other cousins told tales in the old community center with memorabilia dating back to the 1700s. This is more a family album entry than a food item ...but food and family go together like what the song described as" love and marriage" ...which in turn " go together like a horse and carriage"..."cant have one without the other"
