Memories and Meatloaf<br />
By Heather Cunningham<br />
Childhood memories consist of<br />
many things and for every<br />
individual those memories can be<br />
very different from one another.<br />
Throwing a ball back and forth with<br />
your father, reading books with<br />
your mother, riding bikes well past<br />
dark, and for some, fishing in an old<br />
rickety boat at 4:00am with<br />
grandpa are such memories that<br />
bring so much joy.<br />
Mother's home-cooked meals are<br />
most likely high on the list in our<br />
memory bank. Coming home from<br />
playing and experiencing the aroma<br />
that filled the house brought on a<br />
sudden need for delicious food to<br />
quiet the battle going on in your<br />
stomach.<br />
What are some of those meals for<br />
you? Meatloaf, lasagna, and<br />
homemade bread were certainly<br />
some of the staples in homes long<br />
ago. For some families, they still are.<br />
We have grown and now have<br />
children and grandchildren of our<br />
own, we have the privilege of<br />
sharing such memories with them.<br />
Now is as good a time as any to pull<br />
out those recipes, dust them off,<br />
and watch the joy that each of us<br />
experienced in our younger years.<br />
