Ted and Mychal hosted an intimate holiday dinner Saturday night at their condo in Fresno. A small group of friends got together for some of Mychal and Ted’s great cooking! Chicken, beef, vegetables, mashed potatoes that may have been the best ever, and desert that was a little bit of heaven.
Ted made a banana pudding for me, since I had been talking about a holiday tradition in our family, but this was something else! It definitely wasn’t my momma’s banana pudding! Mom’s was always great, and I love it, but this was something new. Very tasty, Ted will have to make it more often, now that he’s hooked me on it!
Clarence Arthur Reeves, born January 29, 1887 in Souix Falls, South Dakota. Died June 24, 1966 in Woodlake, California.
I don’t really know a whole lot about Grandpa. I was 9 when he died, and so my memories of him are those of a child. I remember a quiet, distant man, who didn’t seem to relish the flurry of attention a small child brought to his lap. He didn’t push any of us, my cousins and I, away, but I don’t recall him going out of his way to interact with us. Perhaps he didn’t really know how to deal with children, even though he was one of six or more, and he fathered eight (or more) himself. Our family was his second marriage, which occurred on April 15, 1923. Some of my research has turned up a bit of a mystery, and I’m still working on finding out more, if I can.
Random thoughts, occasional rants, illuminating commentary, and an odd story now and then from the world of 9-1-1 dispatching. All this and more from a gay liberal atheist living in California's Bible belt. Some names have been omitted to protect the innocent, but the guilty will be hung out to dry!
