Aunt Flossie loved more than anything to entertain her family and friends. She and Grandma took turns hosting Thanksgiving; you couldn't eat for a week after going to Flossie's for Thanksgiving dinner because she made so much food. It was her favorite holiday and she always went all out. She loved to have parties on her back deck. She was happiest when her house was full of people, especially family.
