The Iron Pot Black was launched size - seemed to weigh a ton. It 's always been a groan of one who was to take his perch. the time when each family member of a small child, we learned what it means when it was appropriate on the stove.

There were only two reasons to start that big pot. Or someone is married or buried. The boys used to joke that it was the same - but the mothers never found it very funny. This meant that there was a pot family reunion. Uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews - all people who almost never seen, appeared at the end of the day. And the stew is ready. A long list of family time, house of beef> Stew, biscuits, real butter and jam - that's how we met the family.

When the stew to cook, we said that if there was a wedding or a funeral, but no words. The grandmother pulled the old record player and we heard an Elvis Presley increases. When my grandmother sang "Nearer My God to Thee" We knew that family member of a home to be with Jesus walked. Every song was a first marriage. There was no problem to know what was the grandmotherHe said the "old school" where you say what you mean. As a grandmother and another out of his place as guardian of the matriarch and pot the black, took the news the same person. When the jar was placed in service, playing the same record, singing the song when in the mood for the home.

When people started in the afternoon, arriving in half, the stew was done - were the cookies from the oven at the same time, theSwing door began. Braces rarely seen by aunts and uncles came first, then the cousins "conversations about who was the highest, get the best grades, and everything we could think of killing time. Soon Grand mother was in the door and shouted:" Soup "- we are all lined up in the dining room. Sure, there were not enough chairs, but there were many dishes. grandmother employees, coverage of a cookie in the bottom of each bowl, and with manyBeef stew. Only a buffet with bowls and swallowing. All the while the men were on one side of the room as to make an important decision. Talk, which requires the blessing - it was really an academic debate - is the oldest man, who was praying. It 'was a very ancient tradition and probably because some old come, even if you do not feel - they hoped to lead the prayer.

During the prayer was the first time someone has said, byAccording to what has been collected. Those who led, was responsible for bringing to the attention of the Lord that we were all there. This was the confirmation of our family. Common prayer, the family tradition that we had and we all know how important it was. Nobody - from youngest to oldest - except about the prayer. We kept my head down and eyes closed, this is what we have learned and should be - until it's time to say "Amen" was, which was repeated by all awesomein the room.

After the prayer was over, we got the food company - said he sent - or at meetings of the alien among us. One who is always ready, our family was saved - it was time to learn our tradition. However, this party was, they went home to the Lord, or should be somebody to marry.
