aunts and uncles who once embraced us and told us we'd grown a foot since last summer......most
have gone to a place we cannot follow. But the memories! The happy chatter as the ladies laid the
food out on the table and the men discussed how long it took to drive how many miles......and the
young kids squealed and laughed and ran......and the teenagers talked of girlfriends and boyfriends and
algebra tests and the stroll and rock-n'roll......and the old folks sat on the porch and talked and
dreamed of times long past. And the food.....fried chicken and biscuits and butter beans from the
garden and chocolate meringue pie and blackberry cobbler and homemade peach ice cream.....and
Aunt Bessie's coconut cake! The memories! The memories, my sweet cousins, will always be ours.
