About 10 years ago, daybreak; the intoxicating aroma of hickory smoked bacon, homemade buttermilk biscuits, creamy sausage gravy, and freshly squeezed orange juice filled my nostrils. My eyes shot open, and I zoomed down the stairs. The memory fades away and I smile softly, remembering how good mother's homemade cooking was. I continue up the stairs until I'm on the second and final floor.
