Spanky, I agree but these local morons parked the car close to the ties and left. Imagine their surprise upon returning and seeing half their car where they left it and the other half 200 yards down the track.
I was telling Bubba Gene, the nephew, I would bring up a little train and put it under the tree for he and his two girls, 8 and 2. Several years ago I bought the oldest girl a Lionel Jungle set.
I suggested I would build a small layout and when the three of them were putting up their tree, Bubbette and I would come up, bake some cookies with the girls and make coco. The littlest one then shouted "I will help you build it" and clapped her hands.
Gene and his wife are seperated.
We had a good laugh.
This is her l;ast July 4th.
We have no grand kids but we are close To Gene and the kids, brats though they be.
Well, you work with what God gives you I guess,
