Merry Christmas



Busy week…and with the threat of severe weather during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day here in the South, the roads and shops are so crowded with the last minute shoppers, yours truly included. So for our last blog post of Family Trails before Christmas, here are two (or three) thoughts to lift your spirits and help you (and me) to slow down for a short read.

This is me in"Tee's House" in 1961 posing for a Christmas card.
"It is good to be a child sometimes, and never better than at Christmas time."
Charles Dickens

When I found the picture taken in 1961, I had to get another one taken by the same fireplace the year I visited Talladega for Robert Weaver's AIDB dedication in 2014.

Seasoned With Love cookbook page 68 
"One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating."
Luciano Pavarotti



 Last, as I wish you a very happy and special Christmas…

"Somehow, not only for Christmas 
But all the year through,
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you."

John Greenleaf Whittier

Love,
Mariellan
