What a perfect memory picture! Lovely metaphors "buffet of manna", "true as their marriage vows" and the description of the dancing was marvelous. I could see the shy tiny waist-ed girls dancing with each other and Three Step Polonaise, the Foxtrot and the Quickstep all being the dances of choice...by the adults, because it was, after all, an adult dance! So special and lovely, ike in an old black and white film! I could also taste the pot luck specialties, the pride and care that went into them making them as special as the ingredients.

Early in our marriage, my husband and I lived in a very small farm community and the Church Suppers used to be like that.

Thank you for the memories.

And Ruby is a little doll! Great to have grandkids isn't it? Ruby was my paternal grandmother's middle name and she was quite the gem!
