Friday night Uncle Tony went and got A LOT of KFC so we could all eat together. Papa and Grandma usually eat between 3 and 4:00...I think he had to wait until 5 this day, but I'm sure he didn't mind.
From left to right (going around the table): Sandy, Aunt Frances, Papa, Uncle Tony and Uncle Donald. Grandma and Papa had five children, from oldest to youngest, John Franklin (Frank), Donald Wilson, Tony Gene, Wanda Joan (who was called Wanda until school where there was another Wanda in her class-been Joan ever since!) and Danny Clay.
Since Grandma and Papa didn't have AC, we all sat outside to 'cool' off...nevermind there was more room out there too. Grandma was cold all the time, so you can imagine Christmas with five children and their spouses plus 29 grandkids coming and going...it got warm (HOT) in there...but you'd still see Grandma wearing a jacket and feeling just fine.
Grandma kept this carport as clean as she could so some of the grandkids washed it off and swept it while we were all there making slight messes.
From left to right: Uncle Donald, Andy, Joan, Frances, Sandy...1/2 of Tony.
From left to right: Frances, Sandy, (all of) Tony, Susu and David.
Sidney Kate was not without attention. Jan fed her some yummy strawberry pound cake with icing. She even gave a bite of her pre-chewed cookie to Sandy so she could eat more cake.
