Do you miss the good ole days? I do. The slow-paced, playing
with your cousins, stepping in chicken poo days. Going to Mama (pronounced
Mahh-mahh, like “Ahh! I’m scared”) and Papa (pronounced the same but with P’s) Aucoin’s
house for Sunday dinner was what we did each week. The kids would play outside
while Mama and the women cooked in the kitchen, and the men sat around and
visited. Mama would often have fish cooked in her famous white gravy that no
one, and I mean no one, can make like she did. The men would eat first while us
kids would eat all around on the floor. Then the women would eat and clean up.
It was the perfect Sunday. It was what families did, what they made time for. I’m
glad I have these memories to look back on and remember. They make me smile,
and I love sharing them.
