SUMMERTIME COOKOUTS and RAINBOW JELLO

Ahhh.....Sunflowers (arranged in a 5-gallon bucket once used for tractor transmission fluid), red-checkered tablecloths, fresh out-of-the-garden vegetables.......SUMMERTIME!

The theme continues.....


Comraderie.....friendship....no age barriers...

Young and Old...




The matriarchs of the church...(Two very special ladies...the one on your right celebrated her 90th birthday not too long ago)...



Ahhhh....YUM!


A satisfied silence hovered for a few seconds as food met taste buds....





Rainbow Jello made by the young lad front and center in one of the photos above. His mother told me it took 6 hours to make as they had to wait for each layer to jell before they could add the next...the lighter layers have sour cream mixed in to give it a pastel effect...


Perfect ending to a delightful Sunday Dinner on the Grounds deep in the Alabama countryside.
Have a lovely day!

  3. The words are so appropriate and poetic :)

    Just what I needed on this strange day. The sense of place was precisely executed.

    I see you have donated Gerty the Attitude Angel to HUMC?
