The story I have to tell you is one that Deloris and I have always chuckled about. We laugh about how similar we are in that we are both very frugal in lots of ways. Deloris says that I should have been her daughter and Beverly should have been my mom¹s daughter. But, Deloris beat me in one area of frugality!!!! One day, when I was visiting her, she made me a pot of coffee. She knows that I love coffee and drink lots of it. If you know Deloris very well you know she will share anything she has and is very hospitable to her visitors. But she is a little stingy in one area. COFFEE! After she made the coffee for me, I went in the kitchen and looked in the coffee pot and said in all seriousness..."What is this? Tea?" Her coffee was so weak I could see right through it and it really looked like tea!!!!!!
Deloris's daughter read the story and when she finished everyone laughed and then I stood up and handed Deloris a huge cannister of coffee. Everyone roared. My mom should be totally delighted with how well I made her look.
I am so delighted too! Well done... very good family participation!
Sigh...you were my inspiration for not going to my reunion. I think we're caving in. I'm still not sure and I'm still mad at my sister. But it will be the first time we've all been together in decades. And, since the 70s the only time we've gathered as a crowd has been for funerals.
Still thinking we won't stay for church Sunday. We'll see.
