Mother's, Grandma's. Mima's Day

Being friends with your son's in-laws before they were in-laws is immeasurable!  We seldom have to split a holiday with them.....because we share the holiday with them!  On Mother's Day the men pretend to plan and cook. We go along with it as we make the potatoes, vegetables, appetizers and desserts and set the time and prepare the venue and fret about the weather.  They handle the meat, the alcohol and the ammunition!  

Bailee and I went to breakfast and then stopped in to visit Great Grandma for a bit.  She was taking her 12 hour nap so we left our flowers and headed home.  Upon entering the garage, the big, white roaster was bubbling and giving off the best smell, sweet smell.  We thought, "apple crisp, apple pie, cinnamon rolls......?"  We asked Papa "What was cookin'?" "Turkeys," he proudly replied.  ...............go back a few hours ...... "What do you put on the turkey?"  "Just pat it dry, rub it with butter and sprinkle with some spices."............................!

Yes Lee, cinnamon IS a spice!   Strangely enough, it was delicious.  Who needs dessert when you can have cinnamon turkey for the main course?!

Our beautiful DIL did make delicious appetizers and amazing desserts.... no bake cookies and a chocolate tart that was to die for!  Adding mac and cheese and twice baked sweet potatoes completed the entree along with my favorite cukes.  Appetizers were garlic, cheese pull apart bread , crackers and dip and shrimp...lots of shrimp.

It was literally, A....Very....Good....Day!
