Well it has been awhile since I posted after the move to my own domain name but I do have everything lined up with pictures to match some new post. I guess I will start off by talking a little about my aunt sissy. She passed away last night and was 85 I believe. She was the last living patriarch of the family. She was My Uncle Lanky’s wife. I knew it was coming but when I heard there was a flood of memories from Christmas and holidays and all the times at their house spending the night growing up. I remember once when Melody (her daughter) had girls over to spend the night and they were telling scary stories in her bedroom. She was older than me and I got scared and went in the kitchen with aunt sissy. I remember her making me feel like we were having a better time than Melody and her friends. It was a great feeling. So anyway, today is a blah, blue, emotional day for me. I guess I am taking this kinda hard because of her being the last one. I dunno. I am just struggling with it today. I have been moving alot of old reel to reel movies on to DVD and alot of old memories have been seen. Aunt sissy was a tremendous lady. She always understood the kids it seemed and was never harsh on us. I am sad today for losing aunt sissy and for feeling like everything from my youth is slowly slipping away.
I don’t wanna get too emotional so I will talk about one of Lounsbury’s buddies name AJ Truax who came down over spring break. He has been friends with louns forever and he was always telling me that I should meet him. Well I finally did. They came ov
er one night and we sat on the porch and hung out and cooked. I made him some homeade sausage and we sat around and cracked on louns. Grisham showed up for a little while too and he jumped on our side. Usually Louns is attacking me or AJ. But we sided with each other and were getting on him about normal stuff. It was to the point of Louns saying ” I don’t know if I like the fact that ya’ll have met”. It was a great time sharing stories growing up, he was a great guy and that makes two people that Louns knows that are good guys, me and AJ LOL!!,. We hooked up again at Border and we had dinner and then I went over Louns the last night he was here. I gave him a Texans shirt to take back to New York and us three had a few beers and visited before he left. I consider him my firend now and not just Louns buddy. Maybe some day we can make the trip to New York and see them up there.
One
little sidebar funny is about our friend Rick Holt, he couldn’t come over cause he said his wife was sick and he told us to stop texting him while he was tending to his sick wife. We pictured him like Wyatt Earp with a wet rag while his wife lay in bed and patting her head with the rag. Then when she dozed off he would finally have some time to sit and relax.
SOOOOO being the non sarcastic guys we are we sent him a couple pics of us “tending” to our wives.
Ya’ll be safe out there!!
