I talk to Katy every week, not every day, but almost, but never on the weekends. That’s hard to believe for some of you, but it’s just how things work out. I’m very proud of them in their accomplishments and dreams; I try and tell them that on a regular basis. My son-in-law is an honest, hard working man that loves my daughter and his children. He doesn’t have much to say, and he never calls, so when he does, I know that something is up, or something is wrong. Let’s say that he tolerates me……I try and help him weld the pipe fences, put out grass fires, feed in the winter when they go to Amarillo for the ranch rodeo, haul his new puppies from Bryan to Perryton in the ice storm, those kinds of things. He is very much like Katy’s daddy, when there is work to do, we get it done, and there are no questions and very seldom any talking.
So, how do you tell your son-in-law how much you love him and are proud of him???? I think I found the way, it’s not the best whisky money can buy, or anything I can make for him because Katy is a much better consistent cook than I am, and he doesn’t like junk of any kind in his shop or barns.
We all have relatives and friends like this - where it's the smallest thing that expresses the most!
Don't forget to read the food page and email me your recipe/story - I'll share mine tomorrow!
