December 20, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Pleasant Customs.

Each time we are in Mississippi, I have coffee with Eleanor, Greta Barbour and Christina.    We shift from one house to the other.  The coffee is always set out in an elegant style.  We use the best china and silver and drink coffee and eat delicious sweets.  The custom is lovely.  I am able to catch up with my friends and family and hear all about the children and Jackson.  Monday was the day for us to have coffee together and we met at our house.  The custom is simple but heart warming.   It is one of the pleasures of coming to Mississippi.

Mary Frances chose the restaurant last Sunday for brunch.   Anjou was the choice.  It is the best french restaurant in the Jackson area so a perfect spot to celebrate the holiday season.  Our custom in Jackson is to meet the family for brunch after they are finished church.  Beginning two years ago, we turned the choice of restaurant over to Kate and Mary Frances.  And sometimes Molly will select the restaurant too.   Everyone enjoys the time together.  Firstly we always eat good food and secondly, the time period is not too long.  Our custom is a good one, enjoyed by all.

So when does a happy custom become a rut?   I do not know but I do know that happy customs make everyone happy.
