Gobble, Gobble
The Eating Season has begun!
Today at my family gathering we had enough food to literally feed an army. There was only around 25 people people there, but we had enough food for like one hundred. I'm not kidding! We came home with more food than what we brought. The cooks in my family are crazy! Don't get me wrong; I'm not complaining. My aunt made 12 pies. 12!! We brought home two... The potatoes were all butter and cream, and yeah, I could go on and on. I think I gained 5 pounds just smelling all the food.
As the years have come and gone, I've started to notice how much of our get-togethers revolve around food. I mean, we get together, pray, eat, talk, eat some more, hug, then leave. I remember the old days when grandma and grandpa had a huge house w/ a sledding hill in the back that led to the pond. We would run around that place and play all kinds of games. Now we just sit and veg. I remember thinking, "Those adults are so boring! All they do is talk!" I'm scared to think that I'm becoming one of those "sit-and-talkers!" When I'm 40, remind me to keep playing games w/ the kids. That's what bonds the fam together.
