Still beautiful

The weather is still beautiful and so is this fleece from Badger. So busy the last few days, picked up the grandkids, we had a dove shoot, followed by a big dove supper, fried doves, made gravy and tons of biscuits, with everyone bringing a dish or two to share. Everyone had a great time. And the small kids have something to remember. This is a tradition in the South that is disappearing. Fish fries, dove shoots followed by a big supper, ice cream socials, birthday suppers, hog killings, quiltings, any excuse for getting friends and family together for a meal was big in this community. It brings back memories of all the elders that passed this down. Kind of sad, but a good feeling to share with the younger generations. I hope they will have fond memories of their grandparents, that's really all you have when they are gone. I was beyond tired yesterday, cleaned up and washed a mountain of dishes. Hopefully, we get to do it all again next year.
