UNCLE WILLIE T.....

A few days ago, I was thinking about my last remaining Aunt and Uncle. They have turned out to be two very loving and ornery people. Uncle Willie T has been a favorite of mine since I can't remember when? Uncle Willie T is very out spoken and opinionated, he has always told it like it is. They are getting on up in the years, I think he is 87 and she is 83. He still jokes about marrying a younger woman to which Aunt May always smiles.
They live about 23 miles from my location so I decided to appear at their home last Sunday unannounced. They live in an older house just off the interstate. In fact many years ago the highway department took must of their farm but left them with the house, barn and 12 acres. Uncle Willie T fought a hard battle to retain his land but to no avail. I sure didn't want to get him started on that old wound!!
As I pulled into his driveway I see Uncle Willie T getting out of his old red pickup truck out near the tractor shed. That's strange?? Aunt May isn't with him. You never see one of them without the other. When they go to town he drives and Aunt May give him directions, always been that way. Uncle Willie T has on his new go to town overalls. " Where is Aunt May ??" I asked. " She is over at the Church with her Ladies group." "Today I had  to fin for my food so me and my friend Joe went over to that new Cracker Bowl Place." " I think you mean Cracker Barrel Uncle." " Boy, you know what I mean." Even at my age he still calls me BOY." Well. how was the food?? " Boy, the food was great, them pinto beans were outstanding, juicy and I think that cornbread was the best I ever had!! Just don't tell May. I continued to listen to hear all about  his dinner and those folks he saw.
He told me the noise was loud with all those tourist  pulling off the interstate for their dinner. " Young kids just don't mine their parents any more." " I wonder if them people ever look in the mirror as to how they dress while traveling?" he replied. "What do you mean how they dress?" Those fat women in them shorts with those close veins showing and the men look like they been wearing those wrinkled clothes for weeks and whats up with those teen boys with them tattoos?" I told you he was very opinionated. " When them boys with tattoos are older and in a nursing home the new game will be, what does my tattoo look like, not bingo." I had to laugh and agree with him. Aunt May had arrived home being driven by one of her Church ladies and Uncle Willie T was going out to greet them and tell them all about his day out at dinner. On the way home I was smiling about my visit with them and wondered how many more times we would have together. Uncle Willie T will probably out live me!!
