We had ham, scalloped potatoes, scalloped corn, relish tray, green beans, and anything anybody wanted to bring, My grandparents both knew how to cook, and sometimes they would argue over who would do the cooking. We had ice cream and cake for dessert. I live in FL. now, but that was in Iowa. The grandparents owned an ice cream store so we always ate ice cream any season. Now that I'm a great grannie (14 times) all the family is spread too far to get together at the same time.
