Hahaha. Texas Mamas are NOT to be messed with! You step up to the plate and you do not ask questions. They're generous as can be...but they're not ANYBODY'S fool. This is hilarious. Great story and a perfect ending!!

Comment from John Ciarmello
Completely enjoyable, Terry. That is one huge family, along with all the exes and o's invited as well. The best part for me would be not having to clean up and the (ubeer) ride home, lol. Best JohnC

Comment from lyenochka
Lol. Now that's a smart (and rich) matriarch! Big gatherings are never easy and so much pressure to do a family gathering with all of today's complicated mixed families, it could be hard. But it seems the Four T's better use that meeting to come up with something really good for Christmas.
I had to look up the plural of ex:
So, all the ex's come with their (exes)

Helen, thank you for reading. In Texas, we say "All My Ex's live in Texas." A George Strait song. There is no doubt you are right, but they would run me out of the state. Terry.

Lol. Okay. Then let's keep it in proper Texan speech. 💖😊

LOL, actually I changed it, I didn?t want to look too ignorant!
Comment from Ric Myworld
Looks like a pretty fancy shindig you've got going on here, and the names, well, I can't even say them properly, but they sound like they might be pretty if I could. You're always good for a laugh and some lighthearted entertainment, and of course, if it's about food and gatherings. You can count me in. Thanks for sharing.

Ric, thank you very much for the six stars. I feel honored to be sharing the stage with you today and some fun fiction. My 'PG' to your 'R', what a hoot! Terry.

I think we make a great team! Maybe we should write something together some time. LOL. I've never done anything like that. Phyllis Stewart and Dean used to talk about us doing that, but at the time, I just wasn't ready. Of course, they are both gone now.

It would probably kill us! LOL, Terry.

Grace, thank you for the six stars, and for reading my story. At 70 you are still a kid, I'm well on my way to 77! Terry.
Comment from susand3022
Terry, they'd better be doing this again for Christmas! Mama's expecting something grand and it sounds like she's got enough worker bees in the family to make it happen! This was fun to read. Don't you wish all families could get along well enough to get together that way on holidays... ex's and all? Life sure would be simpler.
Susan :)

Susan, thank you for reading and for your review. This is all fiction, I am the last one in my family left. But it was a fun write. Terry.
Comment from Mary Shifman
Thanksgiving Texas style sounds great. I could get behind it too. Those big dinners are an incredible amount of work. Willowmina's is setting the bar for Christmas dinner pretty high, though. The four T's had better get started planning right after Thanksgiving dinner because they're behind the eight ball!

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thanksgiving is a lot of work, especially if you have a large family. I have been lucky and unlucky at the same time. I had four boys, but normally only one or two and their families have showed up at that same time. They seem to take turns with the holidays. I always do the cooking and they have always graciously cleaned up. Thank you for sharing. I got a few smiles while reading.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
We had a similar situation in our lives thirty years ago in Las Vegas. It worked out just fine. The new wife and the x-wife got along just fine and so did both husband of the first wife. LOL That's how civilized people react in this day and age. Well done, Terry. Nancy:)

Comment from Mary Vigasin
A delightful and very clever story. It is a great read from beginning to end, with believable personalities and great dialogue. I like the creation of "the four Ts" it is simply brilliant. Here the ladies get together, trying to figure out what is going on and when they conclude it is a great idea, Grandma tosses in the price for the Thanksgiving banquet; she expects to be the four t's to reciprocate.
Best wishes,
Mary
