This is my family, series
This is my grandmother

Cooks and cooks and cooks and cooks
Cooks both turkey and brisket, for just one dinner
Bakes pumpkin pies and pecan pies and birthday cakes and more
Bakes potatoes too
And augratin potatoes and mashed potatoes and yams and more, for just one dinner, cuz no one in the family likes the same thing at the same time
Heats up green beans and corn and hominy and black eyed peas for the same reasons
Stirs up gravy and cole slaw and cranberry sauces
Cuts up green peppers and olives and celery sticks and carrots and all
Places out candies and cookies and cakes and more
Pre-bakes her signature chocolate chip cookies and provides a filled container for each visitor for travel
Warms up some cinnamon rolls and breads and donuts and more, to snack on before dinner
Manages to conduct a major operation with little help
Keeps calm and coordinated throughout the process
Cleans as she goes too
Cleans up the whole ordeal afterwords, even while wishing she could nap like everyone else
Naps after it's all done
Still asks if anyone wants more food
Ready to make more food or fix or attend to or help with anything at a moment's notice
Looks prepared to jump up all the time, for she's learned over the years that she always 'has' to get up for something sometime soon
Never seems to rest until time for bed and when the nightgown's on, it is time for bed
Watches and worries and hopes and dreams and loves
Visits with the family and neighbors and friends
Reads her mystery books when she's alone and won't be bothered
Takes care of her family with love and food and sewing and cleaning and hugs and smiles and heart
Loves her family
