Harrison Ruffin Tyler is a 96-year-old retired chemical engineer and a historical preservationist who is the grandson of U.S. President John Tyler, our tenth president who served in office from 1841 to 1845. That's like, 180 years ago. How is that possible?

Thanksgiving dinner was always at Grandmothers with a variable cast of characters depending on who was in town rather than Florida or Alaska. One time when I was about 17 a big crowd forced my mother to ask me to sit at the kids table in the kitchen. I was terribly embarrassed until half way through I realized I was having a lot more fun than when in the dining room.

Granted shit happens to everyone sooner or later, but maybe if these people weren’t so smug their car would protect them, there would be less accidents.
The picture #33 of the cats cuddling under the kitchen table, I can't even tell how many there are. Must be one of those Harris voters.

Bruce, there was a Thanksgiving a few years ago where the four "old folks" sat together at the smaller table, and the big table had six college students. The four of us just listened to the kids have a sparkling conversation that they never would have if they were sitting with their parents. It was lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes, that sounds like a great set up, entertainment for the seniors and free rein for the juniors.
