Supper Is At Night Time.....

"Tuck moved to town when he got older and rented out his land or had sharecroppers. The Finleys who rented the house came to town often and to the house for dinner. (The noon meal, and supper was at night, and in the summer time it was what was left over from dinner.) If too little or if there was extra mouths to feed, she (Sack) would open a can of peaches or scramble some eggs to make enough. The Finleys would bring something she had grown in her garden or he might have butchered a beef and bring some fresh meat. Otherwise they ate ham, sidemeat, sausage, or whatever."
