@snowflake954 I just talked to one of my aunts for comic relief. She wrote at least 15 things on her FB page why you shouldn't come here. I couldn't believe it. 🤣😅😂 She said that we have head lice and they've learned to fly. The mountain lions will eat your kids and we have enormous ticks and fleas, wolf spiders, fire ants and bed bugs. The rattlesnakes will bite you and grizzlies will swallow you whole. Then she said if you plan on moving here, bring a tent. We have a housing shortage and you'll need to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice if there's a fire. On and on. Another buffalo chip off the ol' block. I needed that.

THIS made me laugh. I would have asked how they feel about shoveling snow in sub zero temps for 9 months of the year. All those folks from Texas and California aren't used to that. Cowboy wanabees.

Anyhoo. I'm swamped with e-mails from friends and family. I have so many. Usually I spend 3 weeks to a month home making the rounds visiting. I'm always amazed that people like me so much. They get all excited that I'm coming home. I have college friends, work friends, and family (my Mom and Dad each had 9 siblings). Many aunts and uncles are dead now, but I have hundreds of cousins. Family and friends are treasures and we have ties through the years and many difficulties. This time I'm restricted since Mom won't travel well. Everyone is prepared to come to the farm. Mom is all excited. She thinks I'm going to be driving her to visit everywhere as usual. Sigh. I haven't driven for 3 years.

@snowflake954 Strong families, that's just how they roll. You're a good communicator. Heckatoot, I'm excited for you and I'm out in the middle of nowhere. Connection is everything. The half has not been told.

Put the pedal to the metal and give it all you've got. I can only imagine the casseroles and dishes that are coming your way.
It's going to be a 3 week lollapalooza.

@snowflake954 How's your Italian accent. Do you shake it off when you're around your family or how does that work. Do your folkaronies have you teach them some phrases. I'm already thinking about the dishes around the Ponderosa. I'm thinking they may surprise you when you get home and have everything spotless.

Funny--in Minnesota they call them "hot dish". Where I worked, a woman moved to Mpls from NY. She was a gourmet cook and taught cooking classes. The first time they had a pot luck at work and she saw her first "hot dish" was a sight to behold. Everybody told the story and laughed for years. She is still a dear friend and I hope to see her when I'm home. It took her awhile to break into Minnesota and the lake culture, but once she did there was no holding back. She never did get into making a hot dish though.

Does anyone ever do a little boxing, fist-ta-cuffin' out in the front yard over recipes. I've seen it. No hair pulling but hurt feelers because they won't share secret family recipes or they leave out one ingredient.

Squaring off over recipes.

We've had more than two family reunions completely ruined over recipes. Everyone gets huffy, loads UP and goes home.
