Sweet Memories....

The photo above may not look like much to you, but it means a whole "heckuva" lot to me.  It strikes up so many wonderful memories....of what, you ask?....a little thing called DINNER ON THE GROUNDS.  

Ever been to such?  Ahh, dinner of the grounds, a favorite memory with my PawPaw, Walter.  Every year, his church had a luncheon out on the concrete tables in front of their church.   As a kid I thought it was the coolest thing ever....EVER.  Concrete tables lined with tupperware bowls full of the best homemade food made by the sweetest old ladies. 

Since those times back in the late 70's and early 80's, a fellowship hall had been added to the church.  That kind of put a damper on the ol' concrete table festivities outdoors.  Everyone wants to be comfortable in a temperature controlled climate belly up to a table with their plate of food. I understand that, really, I do. 

But it sure was nice to eat outside again, dinner on the grounds, on the concrete tables that have been there for many decades.  The same tables my PawPaw fixed his plate from numerous times.  And some things never change, there was still lots of yummy food, in tupperware containers, fixed by the sweetest ladies ever.  It would have made my PawPaw proud.....
