We went to Janet’s last night for dinner. When we got there, two of their grandsons and one of their wives were there. It was so good to see them; the last time I had seen them I was taller than they were and had never met the wife. Janet had already told them they could not eat dinner because she did not have enough. Joe complained that they interrupted him and made him forget his cooking. He said it would be a religious dinner; we were having burnt offerings.
After we had finished eating, some more of their family dropped by and we sat around talking “family talk”. It was mentioned that one of the relatives might move back to Texas. He works for a grocery chain called Super One which they said was part of Brookshire’s. Someone else asked what was the difference between Brookshire’s and Super One. James answered spelling out “B R O O K …….” He really did mean it as a joke and we all loved it. Every once in a while the old James shows up and we love it.
Close families are wonderful. I am sorry for people who don’t have them.
