Boy howdy!  What is it about this time of year that you have absolutely NO time to do anything, even when you don’t have a JOB!  LOL!  Between shopping, wrapping, baking, cleaning (yes, I am still doing that!), and visiting family, I haven’t had time for shit.  I can’t remember when I last posted or read your blogs.  So, this morning, before the whirlwind starts, I thought I would play catch up.

Two Saturdays ago, the fireman, the boys, and I headed down south, well to North Florida, to a good ole fashioned redneck Christmas.  My dad is from a small town there and grew up one of 11 children.  They were some broke ass people, ummm kay???

Out of those 11 children, his parents are gone, and including my dad there are nine children left.  They are spread out around North Florida and South Georgia.  Now, being as poor as they were…………lets just say, for some of them, dental hygeine was not a top priority.  Shall I give you the names of these children????  Try these out- Annie Lou, Rether, Mary, Margaret, Muriel, Herjo, Daniel, George, and Pat.  Some not so bad, others……..?

All in all it was a nice time.  It was good to catch up with the “OK” ones, and good to run from the others.  You get my drift?  It was held at “the old home place”.  That is the land these children grew up on.  The old house is gone, but the oldest child, Aunt Annie Lou, now has a single wide mobile home on it.  But, all the old barns and storage sheds still stand.  Go figure, a barn out lasted a house.

The best part, THE BEST PART, was when the fireman was accosted by snaggle toothed, half-blind, Aunt Rether.  Oh yes.  The fireman is what we call down here “metrosexual”, pretty freaking hot if I do say so myself.  I had wandered off and she snuck up on him.  He is almost 6′, she is barely 5′.  She places both hands on his hips and looks up at him with that nasty ass smile and says, “All I need now is some mistle toe”.

Poor baby!  Sissy spotted this from across the yard and made a beeline for the fireman!  Whew!  It was a close one.  Needless to say, the fireman picked out a fuckin-A Christmas present for Sissy in return for her saving his ass!

Be back soon!

Love,
