OK, because you asked, sit back and adjust your hats: the Frunobu-Mom Deathbed Story (TM). In four part harmony...with feelin'

So, yeah, Mom was on her deathbed - literally. She was in hospice, and had been there for an unusually extended period. She still had all her faculties, fortunately, but the emphysema and congestive heart failure were undeniable and we all knew it was coming soon. Don't take my lightheartedness the wrong way, we all had much time to prepare for the inevitable (including Mom) and we were pretty ready.

One day Hospice tells us, "It's time." She was deteriorating and it was starting to happen. She was still in and out of consciousness, but her 77 year-old body was failing. We made the appropriate calls to friends and family, and went to sit with her. After a time, a good portion of family was at Hospice to see her off - Mom was well-loved by everybody. Of course, you get a few of my kin around for any length of time, you've got a party. So we're all sitting around, telling bad jokes and my wife decides she's hungry. So off to WC for a couple sacks of Sliders.

When she returns, Mom has rallied a bit and is fairly conscious, and of course she wants a Slider! My sister starts feeding her one, she gets irritated and says, "Can I just hold the damn thing myself?" Shortly after that, she slipped back into unconsciousness and remained that way. Well, we sat up all night with her, awaiting the inevitable. About 7AM, my sister is sitting next to the bed, my mom is laying there with her head turned to the side. She opens her eyes, looks at my sister, and say, clear as a bell, "Do you think I could get a cup of coffee?"

Mom lasted a couple more weeks after that before she passed. Behold the power of White Castle!

Oh, and I'm wearing a Stetson 3X today, BTW...

That hat is so white and perfect, I'd be afraid to leave the house!

I have a couple of Revengers that weren't getting much headtime so I had Mike Miller do some modifications. View attachment 85546 View attachment 85547

I love both of those!

Thanks but I'm afraid to leave the house with or without it.

How about about a what were you wearing on Friday? Had a meeting and no way I was not wearing my new Mike Miller western. They say I wear a different hat every time and I wasn't going to prove them wrong .4 5/8 brim, 4 5/8 crown finished height.

Avenel of Melbourne Canvas Safari Hat. I am really digging this hat. The brim is super stiff unlike other safari hats. Super Quality for the asking price. Purchased on www.australiangear.com.

I recently picked up a few canvas and *** oiled waxed cotton hats. Super pleased with my purchases....stay tuned.

[Bamaboots]

You wish, Mr, Ramirez.

happy opening NFL Sunday to those who care about that sort of thing.... it's basically Christmas for me

You and Lady B as well, moon. KC beat the Pats and Atlanta pulled one out against the Bears, so she is happy. Don't ask me about her split personality. Something about Tony Gonzalez and his tight end, or is it him playing tight end? Oh well, me, I follow mostly college and the TIDE rolled again so I am happy.

That Stetsonian is something! I'd rassle you for that thing.
