Good Morning Mixers. Gonna try an 'Anna' here...
Christmas was great ! All three kids and three grands. Mamaw cooked a huge meal (which we are still eating on, and she is talking about giving some to oldest son, in a divorce proceeding) that everyone loved.I got just what I wanted - a #20 Ed Reed jersey (becauase I bought it for myself). Mamaw loves her Keurig, her old coffee pot has been retired to parts unknown. She gave me a $200 Lowe's Card supposedly to get whatever I want. But I will just hold onto that until something breaks or dies, then it'll come in handy.
Christmas Evening (not Christmas Eve) we all settled in to watch The Christmas Chronicles. Kurt Russell plays a hip Santa. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, daughter says he makes a better Santa than Tim Allen (her older brother disagrees). I had four REOS/ Galaxies and a P3/ Achilles on the coffee table at the time. About half way through the movie my granddaughters (18 and 17) started puffing on them. Apparently they are in the "
juul crowd". Which means they had never tasted vape like mine. Two Grands had NET flavors. Sutliff's Christmas Spice, which about three months after extraction mellows into a delightful RY4 variant, and Scotty's Honey & Chocolate. Also had Vanilla Lovers Dream and Caramel Surprise in the other tow Grands, and Cinnamon Sugar Cookie in the ProVari. The two of them went round and round from mod to mod before settling on the Homey & Chocolate and the Vanilla Lover's Dream. At 10mg nicotine it was probably easier on them than the
juul anyways. Their Uncle John, my younger son, said "Now you know what to get them next year." They were amazed by squonking to fill the lower chamber of the Galaxies, so they went around the mods one more time to watch how it works.
And Urlacher was put up in the spare bedroom, so everyone went home without teeth marks. Good Christmas.
Went to see Mom yesterday. The doctors gave her three months to live in early October (cancer) and I think the end is near. She seemed so weak and frail. A devout Christian woman (she worked in the Christian Radio editorial dept. for 25 years) she has seemed at peace with the inevitable. But she is really getting weak. She lived a good life, a free spirited and independent woman who has travelled and enjoyed her life. But I don't think she will make it much further. A lot of reflection these days...
And I slept until 8:30 this morning. Anybody who knows me knows that use doesn't happen. Must needed it.
And Bronze is not a robot, just a grumpy old man. Takes one to know one.
