-> settle for a cookie or two but supper's dessert was usually pie or cake
-> when we were young. Now a lot of the time it's ice cream.
->
We were not much of a dessert family...they
were for special timess. Watermelon was a 
summer treat for hot afternoons...ahhhhhh! 
When the little cousins went in for naps
in the afternoon, we (the older cousins) would
get to go out to the field and pick one or two
good watermelons for the afternoon.
Grandmother and aunts (and mom) would be
canning and when the little ones got up we'd
all get to have watermelon to last us until
supper time...when my grandfather and 
the men came in from the fields. Which was
usually just before dark.
chat with you soon!
