Sated

I remember Mama's bread
fresh from the oven,
slathered with new churned butter,
topped with grape jelly
and dripping with love,
greedily 
gulped!



Inspired by Laura's "Sweet Treat" contest

Smile~Sounds like grand-mothers good old days does it not!? Actually, some of the very best cooks came from those periods along time....and good for you to recognize and pay homage to both your grand-mother; while at the same times those somewhat golden times also! Excellent recognition and write Joyce~Very lovely! Love and Warth Always To You and Yours, John!:)
