At family gatherings it’s preferred if I open my mouth, I place food in it. Except for Dad. Brings a gleam to his eye. :)

My family's the same. Not my kids tho, kids are woke.

My dad has learned I'm right tho. Took years.

Screwball thing is, my family hasn't thought I had a sensible idea since I bucked years of family tradition and attended UT instead of A&M. (Aggies didnt have my major) So I got the whacko liberal Austin nut-job label. And I've *always* been a conservative activist. I learned by watching raggedy Iranian protesters on my campus in '79. Watching that excrement on my college campus solidified my Patriotism.

But for my family to listen to my conservatism is not possible. (Except my kids and dad) I must be speaking nonsense because I'm not one of "them."

I don't often make big family gatherings, just see them one-on-one for lunch or supper. But Daddy has asked for a big family Christmas. They are in their 80's. Mama had a death scare this year, daddy's health is declining. And daddy specifically asked me and my kids to come. I don't care this year, I'm talking Trump/Q victories. The others can just stew on it.

87 yr old dad fading, 84 yr old mom, she’s to have knee replacement after Christmas. Not sure how the knee is going to affect long-term independence in their home. 2 acre lot, huge garden, flowers everywhere, Better Homes and Gardens kept home.

I get tired just thinking about putting gas in my lawnmower! :)

Sister a special needs teacher in public school system. Her eyes and hair be like wack at the end of the day.

Stew? I put the black El Yucateco on a hamburger and later some chicken...yum! Quick n dirty flavor. Went back to (wm) and bought four more bottles. Yes, I do things in binges. :)

Picked up a bottle of El Y’s XXXTRA Hot chile habanero too, but haven’t tried it. Might be two drops in a wash pot of chili material, I’ll let you know. < Cletus laughs >

Slide over ;)

Sweet stories. You wouldn’t by chance be a “daddy’s girl”, would you?
