We got Willie, Gladys, and some of their kids to join us for dinner. It was a real get-together. Jack was the most excited to see his old friends. Doreen come over from that little town where she lives and had a surprise for me. Jack knew about it because he had called her and told her about one of his inventions. It was a laser thing that they used to remove her tattoo. And it did a good job. Wasn't nothing left but a little pink skin. She ain't advertising for Falstaff no more.
Dorothy come over too. Her and Gladys took over the kitchen and brought out a great spread. The center piece was a big fried turkey and two turkey stuffings, one with oysters, one without. Homemade cranberry sauce. Lots of vegetables: green beans, squash, collard greens, pink eyed peas, and a bunch of radishes, onions, pickles, olives, and carrots. For dessert we had pumpkin pie, pecan pie, banana pudding, coconut cake, and/or peach cobbler with homemade ice cream. We was stuffed.
After we finished we all sat in the living room of the big house. And you know what, we fell asleep, kinda in the order of our age. At least that's what they told me.
Tomorrow: Jack Comes Clean
