I now it's past now but we have three houses full of people here this year. Aunt Joyce is up from LA, and she did most of breakfast. I cant even describe how good everything was. She had my daughter, Layne do the biscuits and they turned out fantastic. She brought several coolers of fresh seafood with her, two large ones and a medium sized one full of iced but not frozen shrimp. God, I have never had shrimp that tasted so good. Have you guys ever had fried grits and shrimp. I have no idea how she did it but it is on my learn this list. God they were great, Tom said he didn't like or eat grits, ok until this morning anyway. The one big thing that got me was she starts her day with "her" cup of coffee. Basically mud in a cup with a large shot of whiskey in it, doesn't matter what flavor it wont last long. Then she is more normal I guess I would say for a visual reference think of maw Kettle from the old movies. I am for real, a dress with apron, hair in a bun and boots on. She stayed with dad last night while Sissy (yes real name) hung out at my house. Tom isn't sure about Cajuns now, he is not put off but thinks they may be a bit off where it counts. Well hell I could have told him that one, we are a bit nutty but that's why we are so damn much fun to hang with. Layne has become aunts shadow and I hope it's a good thing. Its funny to watch her get onto dad for things. He said damn last night and I thought we were at church for a second. I have no idea of how she can do some of what she does and then say something about a little cussing. And of course the kids are all loving to see papa get nailed by her. She and Layne have been cooking this morning and she is giving Layne the recipes so she can put them on her tablet. She told dad he will need to "translate them for the girl" meaning she cooks with an old army serving spoon so is she says a spoon of lard that means about 1/2 cup, so this could be interesting. She is staying for Sunday morning church services then they are heading back. I have a feeling she is going to be missed. ok I am being paged LOL, seems she is going to teach me the grit trick for in the morning.
