Supper Waiting


Oven skillet fried potatoes and corn bread waiting on Chris to get back from the hospital.   He is visiting his cousin who is extremely sick and is in ICU at Tennova at Turkey Creek. The past couple months have been so hard on so many I know.  Death.  Illness.  Divorce.   I don't know what to do for so very many of them.

I cannot make cornbread without 
Three Rivers Corn Meal!!!!  Seriously.   Since 2009 it's been horrible. Real cornmeal the
rural Depression Era folks in Corntassel and Soak used is no more.  Growing up we had cornbread every night.  There couldn't be supper without cornbread and milk.  Mixed together of course.  So with the losing of Three Rivers there is a loss of part of our area's rural history and a connection with it.
