down home

a Perfect Country Christmas

TO ME would be a little cabin in the woods , with a warm fire going,   a long deep couch facing the  fire,
with hubby and me,  drinking  applecider and listing to some Bluegrass Christmas music.
that would be SWEET.

THANKSGIVING

what's for dinner

remembering when

this  was  where my grandmaw  lived  when I was a kid .   and as a kid , I thought it was a very big house.

Boy could my granny cook.
she cooked on a woodstove,
and the food that  would comeout of
it.  would make your mouth water.

We  would  all ways have Sunday dinner there,  and if ya didn't  eat  when  she  fixed something ,  you would  hurt her feelings , and  it didn't  matter you were.    I  loved  her homemaded bread  and her  sugar cookies.
There was this on time , I had spent the nite with  her .  and  the next morning  I woke  up , too  her  packing  a hog' head , passed the bedroom,   She was going  to make  headchesse that day.  
You would think  growing up as a county girl , that  I would  like to eat.  stuff  like that and  rabbit and squirrel , but I didn't.  but  she did and so did my dad.

Been thinking of my dad , here lately.
this  is a picture ,I took   of him  a long time ago and a good friend of our family wrote the  poem..


it's  been  7 year ago.
