Sibling Supper At Mother Hershey’s House

Sunday Evening, March 1

DSC_6370Mother called me in the morning – before church – to see if we still wanted to come for supper since snow and ice was predicted.

DSC_6372Our dad would have been proud of us, because each one said they liked the challenge of driving through snow.

Daddy enjoyed driving in snow.

DSC_6381Our step-mother had the table set beautifully.

DSC_6382Some of the dishes belonged to our mother who died when we were young. I am the oldest, and was thirty when she died from cancer.

DSC_6383Mother was busy putting fresh fruit in small dishes when we arrived.

I finished that project while she attended to other things.

DSC_6384Clockwise around the table: Cerwin, Dale, Dot, Tristan (Steve & Brenda’s youngest), Chelsey (Marlin & Nancy’s youngest), Nancy, Marlin, Brenda, Steve, and Mother.

Clair and Kate, we missed you.

My siblings: Dale, Clair, Nancy, and Steve.

DSC_6385Tristan and Chelsey are the only unmarried grandchildren so are invited to this event.

DSC_6386We never lack for conversation.

DSC_6389Following the fresh fruit appetizer, we had baked chicken breast, bread filling, gravy, mixed vegetables, a variety of relishes, and pie and ice cream for dessert.

Cerwin and I both took mince pie, so don’t remember the other choice. We think it was apple.

At the close of each meal she always serves a salty mixture and candy.

Thanks, Mother, we had a wonderful evening.
