This 4th of July we spent our day at my brother and sister-in-law's, Cody and Leah's, new house in Henderson. My Mom, Diana, has always wanted to fry chicken outside like her mother-in-law (my Dad's mom, my Maw Maw) taught her many years ago. She got her wish because the weather was perfect. Although it was hot, we had fans blowing and set up underneath an old crepe myrtle in the shade just like in the old days. We had all the fixin's including homemade mac & cheese prepared by my sister, Vicki and rice dressing cooked by me. I also brought fresh cucumbers & tomatoes and broccoli slaw.
Later in the afternoon I was able to pick about 3 gallons of figs with Annabelle. That was a fun learning experience for us. We finished off the day with watermelon on the porch and a fireworks display provided by my brother and my brother-in-law, Tim.
As I went to sleep I couldn't help, but dream of Mom's fried chicken.
