Every year from Thanksgiving until Christmas, Papaw would set up a long table in the front hallway.
Eight feet.
Mamaw would fill it with treats.
Baked goods. Store candy. All manner of yumminess.
It was there for the grazing and for after dinner.
Every year I think about it.
They had a Franklin stove in the den and Papaw would build a fire.
We would sit and stuff ourselves on something sweet after stuffing ourselves with a too good meal.
Hot fire, fresh pie and coffee.
Kids on the floor playing with toys from an old industrial machine box turned toy holder.
Papaw in his recliner, feet kicked up, holding the remote so he could control the TV and falling asleep five minutes after sitting down.
He liked NASCAR, but once he was snoring, someone clicked over to a Western or Disney.
Mamaw sitting on her couch, knitting an afghan or cracking pecans for the next round of baking.
She never sat still.
Every year, she would try some new recipe to see what we liked.
Coke cake.
Ambrosia.
Dr. Pepper cake.
Dump Cake.
Cherry Cheesecake.
That ended up being my favorite.
Somehow, with that intuition only grandmother's possess, she figured out what each person liked best, and that's what they ended up taking home.
Then she would make another for next time.
She left for heaven over a decade ago.
But sitting here right now, lost in the memory, I can see, she's still giving me treats.
