Notes: When I was a little girl starting maybe as early as 3 or 4, we would be the first family members to arrive at Grandpa and Grandma Thomason's house on Sunday. We lived closer than many of the other relatives and we also went to church at the Medium Methodist Church at Delina which was close to my Grandparents home. Arriving early gave me a huge advantage because my Grandma let me make the cream potatoes for Sunday dinner!! Every Sunday, she would pull a chair up to the counter for me to stand in while she added the ingredients. The highlight was getting to use her electric mixer! She would let me cream the potatoes as she tasted the mixture to see what needed to be added. I loved being in the kitchen with my Grandma. As my aunts, Annie Ruth and Betty Sue came home from church, I would get to see them first and get those sweet hugs. It was a wonderful, warm kitchen filled with laughter and love as they hurried around the kitchen getting the Sunday dinner on the table. I just stood their mixing my potatoes getting to enjoy the hustle and bustle of this precious time in the kitchen with my Grandma. My favorite dinner menu at Grandma's house was meatloaf with tomato sauce, fresh tomatoes if in season, cream potatoes, green beans, "fried" creamed corn all served with biscuits and corn bread. My favorite dessert was her peach cobbler. She would always have a jar of the best homemade pickles on the table. All served with the most delicious and sweetest ice tea!! A wonderful memory!
