Yeah, 1959. June 9th. Ruby was my mom’s aunt and she was the older sister of my grandma, so she was getting up there in years when I was a kid. I think she was mid-sixties when I was ten or so, and I know Val was at least seventy, which would put them both over a hundred today.

I read further down in comments and yeah, it’s a recycle, haha. Sorry! Some pro-bloggers say you shouldn’t do that but I don’t care, newer readers seldom go back through archives, so sometimes I’ll just repost something if I liked it back when. Usually it’s a holiday post and I think this one is on its third go-around.

Ah, you recycled it. Now I get it. What an excuse to add another comment.

Now how did I end up making a comment on an old post. I guess I’m more late than I thought I was.

A Happy belated Thanksgiving to you. I realize I’m late but we (my wife and I) were moving shop–my wife’s quilt shop to a new store front.

My mother made dinner on Thanksgiving and it was always the same and always delicious. Then for years afterward, no matter where I was, I was always the one to make Thanksgiving dinner and you better believe it was good. I’d expect no less from the son of my mother. Now, even more years later, I’m married to a turkey-holic so we have Thanksgiving dinner at least 6 times a year.

And I ain’t tired of it yet.

Lovely post, Rhodester. We’re we born in the same year? If it’s 1959 then we were. This of course doesn’t mean a thing but I was curious.

Krispy’s Komments are always Komplimentary, and snark snakes its way into Konversation without reservation, sometimes.

Naturally, I think.

Uncle Val was the greatest cook ever, and he always smelled like fresh, delicious pipe baccy.

I know this is rare, but here’s a non-snarky comment from me: You’re exceptional at coming up with first lines that hook. Do you work on that, or does it just come naturally? I can’t count the posts you’ve pulled me into with a great first line. I liked uncle Val from the words “speech impediment.”

NEVER take a good greasy spoon “chef” for granted!
