We had great evenings of visiting as well.. it dawn on me a lost tradition.
But when everyone was packing up on Sunday and heading back home to other states and other areas... the tradition is no longer practice.
See when ever we had company from far away.. another state or across the state... the day they were leaving.. we would send with them food... We would fry up chicken, have potato chips, and fruit all in a box for them and thermos of coffee or bottles of water with ice in them... to take with them.. And on their trip home they could pull over in an area off the road, and have something to eat and rest before they finished their trip.. Saving money, as restaurants could be spendy.
But people don't do that anymore... I guess because there are soooo many .... fast food places along the road.. Every 20 miles there is another area of multiple fast foods to stop at.. Where as in the years of past... stops could be 40, 50 and even 60 miles apart and some of those were just a little gas station and then you were on your way again..
