Sunday breakfast and Sunday dinner I returned to my roots in 1998 having lived in West Texas since 1979. I was so excited, especially returning to the farm on Highway #48, Glenview community. It felt good to be home again. My brother, who lives in New Jersey, recently sent me a picture of the old farm house, the place of my birth. Shown are my mother and niece, the oldest grandchild. My mother passed away in 1982, but I remember the Sunday mornings when she would get up early and fix the most delicious breakfast and Sunday dinner, topping it off with a pineapple coconut cake for Sunday dessert. This old house where I was born no longer stands, but memories are very vivid. Being home again and remembering dressing up for Sunday School and church was quite a treat for us. My niece is quite a lady now, provost at California State at Bakersfield, California. She says that her favorite vacation is returning to North Carolina, sitting in the porch swing and waving as the cars go by. Collard greens, butter beans, white corn, pork barbecue. Nothing is finer than being in Carolina. Barbara McWilliams Cooper |
