Jim and Millie called to welcome me back and extracted my solemn promise to meet them for lunch the next day. Brian called to tell me he had finally s...ored with two girls at once – a thing I kept from Beth Ann just in case...The cook had a sumptuous dinner on the table by the time we got in the door and satisfactorily hugged, kissed, squeezed, and hugged again. Over BBQ spare ribs and all the fixings, we gabbed for hours and hours. I kept saying, "I missed you all SO MUCH!" It just kept coming. The reason is Consuela Hermanos, just over five feet of Hispanic beauty from New Mexico. He's crazy about her. She was due to come to the ranch for Christmas with her folks. She'd already been there at Thanksgiving with her folks and Beth had come to know and really like her. So either Beth will run Bessie's ranch and Dan will end up on the Hermanos spread or something, but it's a positive thing all around.Mom and dad and I went to Aunt Bessie's for Christmas dinner. We met the Hermanoses, who. “Now Jimmy.” Julie said loudly for those outside the door. “Try these on for me. And why aren’t you wearing any underwear?”“You know I don’t like underwear.” James said loudly. “Neither do you.”“Oh my goodness Jimmy.” Julie said, trying not to laugh out loud. “You’re right. But I didn’t think that shopping would get you so hard.”“You said we’d have fun at the Mall.” James replied. “Now do what you promised!”“Sorry son,” Julie said. “I’ll take care of you when we get home. We need to hurry. Camille was wilting when the door opened and John, followed by Calvin, came in. Camille grabbed Calvin's hand and smiled, "I'm glad you came for lunch. Can I help you with your boots?"Calvin was blushing as Camille pushed him back to sit next to John on the bench. John said, "Carla does that for me all of the time. It really shows you how important you are to them."That was probably the wrong thing to say, as Calvin blushed even deeper. He would have really blushed if he knew what Camille would.
