A fat boy's like me idea of Heaven.
All you can eat of home made this and that.
Just go down the line with your paper plate loading it up on deep fried chicken breast,pink eye peas,potato salad,corn on the cob,those delicious deviled eggs,cornbread and pies and cakes of every kind.
Don't forget the sweet iced tea in a solo blue cup.
Most Churches down South have what is called Homecoming where once a year everyone brings food.Usually it's held outside on the ground,picnic tables or on the tail gate of your Ford pickup.
Back up in the country where Momma was born and raised the Church where Grand Pa Smith was once the preacher each year they have what is called Decoration day held every 3rd Sunday in May.
People who are members or past members of the Church and their families bring flowers to decorate the Church cemetery across the road and it's sort of like a reunion with everyone doing the food thing.
It's a tradition that still goes on through out the South.
It's such a sweet memory for me.
Like I said a fat boy's idea of Heaven.
