Does food inspire memories? I associate so many memories with food and this one especially makes me smile!
When we were kids Sunday mornings meant Church. We would go as a family, Mom and Dad, Don and I and Grandma too.
We would go to Sunday school and then church. Once a month there would be just singing and we could request our favorite song. My brother Don would always request the hymnal "Church is Finally Over" and the gal that led the singing would shake her head and dutifully turn to that page while Don would snicker and we would all giggle.
On Communion Sunday, Don and I would be sure to sit on either side of Grandma when they passed around the little cups of wine. Once Grandma had the wine she'd often hold it in her right hand.
That was also the wrist she wore her watch on.
Don would say, Grandma, what time is it? And she'd turn her wrist to look at the clock and pour the wine on her lap. We'd laugh and BOY did we get in trouble!
We weren't bad kids, we were mischievous! 🤣🤣🤣
Because the day started off as a mad dash, we'd have a snack when we got home. Often it was cream cheese danish!
