MANY SUMMERS WERE SPENT AT THE FARM WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP. WE LEARNED HOW TO BAKE AT THE HANDS OF OUR AUNT MAE- MAE AND GRANDMOTHER, WHEN THEY WOULD BE PREPARING FOR THE THRESHERS COMING TO HELP THRESH THE WHEAT. I REMEMBER THAT BEING THE OLDEST OF THE NIECES, i WAS ABLE TO HELP WITH THE HAYING BY DRIVING THE HORSES IN THE FIELDS. i THOUGHT i WAS SO GROWN UP. WE HAD SO MANY GOOD TIMES AT THE FARM WITH ALL OF THE FAMILY GET TOGETHERS AND AUNT MAE AND UNCLE DAVID WERE AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL.
I STILL THINK OF YOU MAE, EVERY MORNING WHEN I REACH FOR ONE OF MY SPECIAL SPOONS THAT YOU GAVE ME MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, HOPING THAT BY USING THEM YOU WOULD ALWAYS BE AROUND. NOW THAT YOU HAVE PASSED, I WILL STILL USE THOSE SPOONS AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN A SPECIAL PLACE WATCHING OVER ALL THE FAMILY WITH THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE YOU. I LOVE YOU AUNT MAE. JEAN XOOXOX
