At 78 years young, Ginny Stevens is enjoying her days of baking, especially cookies and cakes. “Just as soon as the weather gets a little cool, I start baking. I love cooking. My family loves the baking,” Ginny explained as she said, “Taste one. I just made 60 of these eggnog cookies this morning.”
Coming from Williamsburg, the Stevenses moved to Gloucester in 1984. “I love it now but I think for my first three weeks I cried. Didn’t want to leave all my friends.”
It’s not out of the ordinary for Ginny to make several dozen cookies a day and then bake a cake or two. “I love to cook. My husband Bill loves sweets. He is now retired from 37 years of service with Colonial Williamsburg.”
Ginny is daily cooking for four. Her son Brian and his daughter Alexis live with Ginny and Bill. Alexis, a freshman and cheerleader at Gloucester High School, is learning to cook from a good cook—her grandmother, who had learned from her mother and grandmother.
“She is really good,” Ginny was quick to add.
