August 1, 2006, we all gathered at Ms Alberta’s in
Upton, KY for what was supposed to be a surprise eightieth birthday party.
Every one brought a dish so Ms Alberta wouldn’t have to cook.
When we arrived we found Ms Alberta was out in her
rock garden planting some new flowers that she had found at Lowe’s in
Elizabethtown, Kentucky. We took her picture and wished we could be as young as
Ms Alberta was at eighty. Then we all went inside with our dishes and there we
were met with a surprise.
As almost always happens in a big family like ours,
someone had let the cat out of the bag and Ms Alberta had baked some of her
Banana Nut Bread and lots of her famous Egg Custard Pies. We all liked birthday
cake and ice cream; but a slice of Ms Alberta’s egg custard or a piece of her
banana nut bread, beat the cake and ice cream every time.
