“The COOKS are Warming Up the Kitchen”

“If ever there was a time for all “COOKS” to come to the aid of their household – NOW – this week is the time to do, that which, only “YOU” know how to do it – to make all of us, just sit up and beg for more  wonderful treats,  “You” are the very  best person,  in the whole wide world!”

This is the front of a card that I had received  in 1980 for the Holidays from my Uncle Bill and Aunt Iola McClarren with a nice two page letter.

I have always saved the mail that I received, especially when it had a nice long letter to fill me in, with all of the news of that part of the family, and all  that they were doing, how they were getting on – and their plans for the Holidays. They were getting up in the years with medical needs to be taken care of – and not always able to do all the things, like they used to do.

When we were little, my brothers, Denny and Tommy  and Mom and myself,  my Dad would drive  us, up to Ohio for us to visit and stay with the family and spend  some time, seeing how they did, all of their farming and taking  care of animals,  and we did enjoy lots of very good meals. In  fact one year, they even made a “Pumpkin Pie” from scratch in a very special pie dish, that my Mother used for many years, and then, when she passed on, I was lucky to get that very same “Pie Dish” and have always made “Pumpkin Pies” in it, and they were always top of the line pies,  very seldom having a slice of  leftover “Pumpkin PIE!~”

Something special about this time of the year, with everyone getting all of their cookbooks and every baking pie pan and cookie sheet out and preparing the KITCHEN for making memories, that will last  for a Lifetime, for all of those invited guests!

Just a thought, to go along with all of the good memories — and that is – this time of the year is so WONDERFUL because, every good COOK and Baker is saying  extra special prayers, that everything that they have planned for the HOLIDAY Menu will be so very delicious – that all their friends and family will enjoy this occasion,  with many Prayers for those that provided this wonderful meal at this family get together, and that they will always be invited – because they did enjoy to the fullest – all these gifts and those gifts that our Almighty Yahweh provides for each of us all and that is for all year long!   D.V.
