Spring Break Day 7: Great Great Aunt Bertha and My first Krystal

I woke up with a fever this morning and Mom didn't think we would be able to make the trip to Maysville, AL (about an hour and a half car ride). After I got some medicine and my fever broke, I ate 2 bananas and felt much better! Aunt Bertha is Papaw Payne's father's sister and she is 95 years old! She has recently been sick, but she is back home now and was even well enough to cook us all a full home cooked meal. The food was simply DELICIOUS. It was country cooking at it finest: pork roast, turnip greens, turnips, corn, sliced tomatoes, mac and cheese, and the BEST corn bread in the world. For dessert: fig cake. Mom said it was the best cake she'd ever eaten. Too bad, I wasn't feeling good enough to eat. This was right before, another dose of medicine---check out how rosy my cheeks are.  

On the way home, after my fever had broken again, I was asking to "EAT!" So, we stopped at one of my Dad's favorite fast food places and I ate my very first Krystal burger and I thought it was great!
