I enjoy the pleasures of the table. On Sunday's our family would gather at my grandmother's after church. (They didn't go, but we did) My grandmother would bake a yellow cake from scratch and it was moist and delicious. She usually served fried chicken, (home raised) mashed potatoes and lots of cooked vegetables. and either slaw or wilted lettuce. If it was winter the vegetables came from her home canned stash and if it was summer we had them from the garden. The cousins all played on the swing or in the sandbox or out in the yard we played red rover, hide and seek or other games and we got drinks from the well in the back yard and the grownups would sit around the table and drink beer and talk. Sometimes we kids would get tired and just fall asleep on a comfortable couch or chair.
