Fincher’s Corner

Daddy built our kitchen table from scrap lumber. Measuring about eight feet long and three feet wide it was barely big enough for our large family. After building two long benches and placing a nail keg at each end, it became the place (and the only place) for our meals. Mother baked biscuits every morning in our Coal Oil stove and biscuits and syrup was our standard breakfast for many years. When we ran out of cane syrup, Mother made sugar syrup with a boiling mixture of sugar and water. Poured over a buttered biscuit, it was as good as it got.
