Best dinner I've ever had.......

The smell of meat loaf over took everything that was important at that moment. The buzzer on the oven is going off, letting everyone know that they are about to taste something that is as close to heaven as one may get, without dying of course. The table at my grandparents' house is filled with bowls of macaroni-and-cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy. Another bowl offers up asparagus. Still, one thing is missing, and everyone senses it. My grandma's meat loaf, which is notorious to anyone in Dougherty, Okla., or all of Murray County for that matter, is just making its way to the table. There are eight close-relatives sitting around the table, already with head bowed, to get into and out of the prayer as quickly as possible, in order to fill their stomachs with that famous meat loaf.
The sweet tea is nothing to be left out either. There simply, was not a better-tasting beverage, than my grandma's sweet tea. With the meat loaf of all meat loafs about to be devoured, it's only right to serve it with the sweet tea of all sweet teas.
