Hey Cat.....yes, we were hungry after a hard day of running, swimming, fishing and skiing, but my grandmother always had a kitchen full of fried chicken, mashed potatos, fresh fried corn, squash, green beans, pound cake with caramel sauce, coconut pie, and homemade ice cream and sweet tea to fill us up. We ate off of those awful, brightly colored Fiesta dishes (the ones that everyone collects now) and drank out of Bama jelly glasses. We had to wait 1 hour before she let us go back in the water.....and when we did, she made us take a bar of Ivory soap to wash up for bedtime. We drew straws to see which lucky ones got to sleep in the hammocks on the screened -in porch, and the rest of the poor souls had to sleep in those tacky, hot (no air-conditioning) bedrooms. I think that must have been the best sleep I've ever had.....crickets, lightning bugs, a cool breeze, full belly, and the sound of the adults (that loved and watched over us) playing cards in the living room. Ah.....
