What a wonderful story lysie.
It reminds me of the Thanksgiving Dinners and the preparations of my Grandmother H's and then of Mom after my Gram passed away. I remember one year working very hard making stuffed dates. I still love dates.
Hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Love, Aunt M
Thank your dear Aunt for me, to be sure that kind of talk will only encourage me to keep writing.. Ha!
