As I told Midge, regardless of the crazy things that came from the uninvited guest ( flu or whatever it was) this is the one time of the year that we get to spend some quality times with our mother and siblings. We are so blessed to have our mother with us. There are moments that are spontaneous and so special it’s hard to describe. One on of those is four brothers in a hotel room together with their cell phones playing remember this or I got the next one playing real country music from the 60’s, 70’s and nothing new talking about the old days at the truck shop and the poker games at the shop and our dad and about us and as Rick so perfectly said “ I can’t believe I’m sitting here with all my brothers” him sipping ouzo and his older brothers sharing bourbon and no that is not what made me sick. I told Midge thank you for all that you do and let’s never loosen the bond that brings us together. Many families break up over material possessions or an untimely comment not well thought out before it leaves their lips but I tell people all the time if you don’t have a family like ours it would be difficult to describe the bond of six kids different ages growing up in a home and a time so special with the parents that provided the glue and the guidance to make us who we are. As Rick played Ray Price “ For the good times” and we toasted Carl because these are the good times. Merry Christmas!

I'd hate to be sick on the road.<br />Jilda is feeling better, but the Flu is all around us. I'm thinking about getting us masks like your mom had for a little added protection.<br />I can take not being festive if I can avoid being sick.<br />Hope the rest of your holiday season is blessed.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948073544976029742.post-75625672538184135752017-12-18T18:26:01.975-05:002017-12-18T18:26:01.975-05:00Oh no it is so awful to be sick when you have comp...Oh no it is so awful to be sick when you have company and things you want to do.<br />But it is a good thing you went to help your sister and your mom.

I hope the last time you checked, your mother and sister are both doing much better. That was a scare for you, I'm sure. I also hope Panama Phil is doing AOK now. One thing I can tell you. If I hadn't read the text, just looked at the pictures, and hadn't seen the one of your mom with a mask on her face, I would never have known anyone was or had been sick. You all look great including your mother. I hope you and Jack got out and back w/o catching any of the bugs that crashed your holiday party in Chicago.<br /><br />Have a wonderful week, dear friend YaYa!

I hope your mom is feeling much better today. It's a bad time for flu right now.
