Nothing screams the oncoming of Autumn like one of my Aunt Rachels famous backyard Firepits and tonight was no exception to that rule!Whenever the weather gets just right it gives us the reason to Cozy up to my Aunt Rachels large metal firepit and bring out the hotdogs and smores.
Tonight was just a touch different, my Grandfather, bless his little elderly soul, decided to spice things up by making a big heaping pot of Gumbo to go with our firepit. It was a glorious sight to be hold for sure. Someone topped it all of by bring Jalapeno Cornbread, amazing is all I can say about the food.
Not only though is the good, but the company, these amazing firepit nights would never been as special if I didnt have the family to go with it. We have fanstatic debates on current topics, we giggle about past memories, or just sit around and make poke fun at those who just happen to become a target. Its all innocent harmless fun.
Its so heartwarming to know that I have such an amazing family who can do the littlest things but it becomes such a bonding event. I am truly blessed and my family is one of my biggest blessings.
I brought my friend Anthony with me and I was so glad he was able to mesh so well with everyone. Of course I got the never ending boyfriend probing questions and I could only reassure them that I have not yet reached the point of desperation that would draw me to date a 20 year old. But in all seriousness he, like every other person I have allowed to accompany me to a family function, was overwhelmed at how big and close we all our. Its our dynamic, the glue that holds us all together, when times get tough, our bong gets tougher. Not everyone has what we have and we never fail to forget that.
