My grandparents lived on
a farm and rode to town
in a horse-drawn wagon.
years later, but there was still time to enjoy the traditions.
Granny's vegetable garden was tilled with the help of a sweet mule pulling a one-row plow. It was hard work but the fresh veggies were well worth the effort!
To get water, we would go to the back yard, lower a wooden bucket into the well, fill our kitchen containers
and take the water into the house.​​
I arrived on the scene
Eggs would
magically
appear
every
morning!
Fresh milk was provided by the
sweetest Jersey cows. They were a beautiful caramel color and had loving personalities. Just don't oversleep! They will wake you up abruptly if you and your milking pail are not at the barn by 6:00 AM!​​​
Granny would put on her bonnet
Fresh green beans, sun-ripened tomatoes, berries, and sweet carrots that gallantly tried to escape by hiding extra deep in the ground.
​
​
​​
Around 4:00 the kitchen would be filled with so many delicious aromas we could hardly wait to eat! The vegetables and cornbread would be presented in old China bowls lined up across the countertops.​​
​
and trek out to the garden to pick the vegetables and sweet berries off the vines.
​
​
Surrounded by an eclectic group of mis-matched chairs
the long wooden table would be covered with mounds
of southern fried chicken still in their cast iron skillets.
Home-made pecan, chocolate and lemon custard pies were hidden in the fridge to be served later.
You see, in those days every farm family lived this way.
Days like these were normal, nothing special. But today
they would be diamonds.
​
I would pay a fortune if you
could send me back to those days!
Most of the ladies making
calls to our sweet seniors
have had experience with helping care for
their own Mom or Dad.
​
​
That has given them
empathy and compassion which helps them to
connect with your loved
ones in a sincere and loving way.
There's a very nice person
waiting for your message!
