A Special 3 Days for our family

A Special Three Days for Our Famuly This is the time of year family gathered and shared events, foods and fun. WE had Aunt Ruth Hoffman's Feils birthday. Then we had my Dad's Birthday Ray Dee Jones and then we had Uncle Comillo Morelli 's birthday. HE was my Uncle being married to Etta Maxine Jones, Dad's oldest sister. Aunt Ruth was my MOM's baby sister. SO FAMILY WEEKEND twas fun. I remember we always had tradional foods. meat, potaoes, vegtables, jello salads, and breads then dessert. After I married and was home we had a abnormal luncheon event. We tried to do BBQ.. WE all survived it but was not anyones favorite and never repeated it It was generally fried Chicken, Potato Salad, jello salad with fruit in it. Sometimes baked potatoes or Potato chips on rare warmer days. Seems it was generally a cooler day and by 2:30 Uncle was off to milk cows and the wind be heavy enough all moved indoors. As kids we played games, or cards or horse shoes if weather permitting. Dessert was always Chocolatae Cake off Hershey cocoa can and Fresh strawberries with home made whipped cream. Dad's favorite cake ALWAYS. Some time kin from city would come and we would also make home made ICE CREAM. Some times plain, some times with Fruit dropped in. Loved it with Black berries or fresh peaches. The Ice Cream. It was a weekend that happened with just that one modest try of BBQ. Back to Chicken I think until it ended. They are all gone now. Veggie was generally asparagus, corn or green beans. Wish my family would have done this for our current family. I think it made us a stronger family to share together. 18th,, 19th and 2oth. of May.
