This one is a keeper. That Sean has the best of times. I love Loretta and wonder what happen to Cricket. This would be a great novel. Maybe Sean will use this and do a book. I can see the characters.
Oh my gosh, that must be the reincarnation of my great aunt Jimmy. There was no topic that was untouchable. There was a sweet antagonism in her very verbal, stance that showed her definitive opposition. If anyone dared to backtalk she was never limited to polite conversation but in a curt direct cussing out left the individual clearly aware where she stood. Aunt Jimmy was the ultimate defender of the maligned underdog. Do not ever mistreat a child through ignorant comments or actions. You will deeply regret and not forget the tongue lashing you will receive. And what about the one who received this unique protection? Well, as you can see, I am doing fine. Amen.
Sounds like Cricket did have his hands full! But she obviously is a strong woman, determined and knows how to live life. I'm going to tell on myself. I was in church choir and I car-pooled with four neighborhood fellows, while my husband watched the girls that one night a week we had rehearsal. I always drove like a "bat out of hell," as my dad used to say. I leaned from my mother! One night one of the choir fellows called me Sterling, after one of the race car drivers of those days. I didn't burn rubber, but I'm often the first one off a traffic light. I do watch to make sure the cross -traffic isn't going to run the red light, but so far, God has kept me safe. Thank you, Lord! Thanks for a great story, Sean!
SO LOVED THIS!!! BESTEST ONE YET!!! WISHED SHE LIVED IN MY TOWN... THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HAVING FEISTY OLD LADY FRIENDS!!! LOVE THEM!! THANK YOU SEAN!!
Years ago my next door neighbor and some other "church ladies" would meet about once a month to play poker.
One day I walked into the house, while I was helping her husband, and the ladies asked me to sit down to a few games of poker. In a few minutes I lost $20.00 and since that was my allowance I had to leave. A few months later they were back at my neighbors house and asked me to sit down for another few hands of poker. I put my $20.00 on the table and told them to just take it because I had things to do. One of the ladies said they would let me win. I looked at them and told them "No you won't". They said "You're right but we would take longer to win your money". Got to watch out for "Church Ladies".
The doctor made my Granny drink a beer a day for her stomach issues. She hated even the smell. She'd stand at the kitchen sink, take a drink, then gagging, make herself swallow it. She eventually learned to like it. I'd take her down to a local bar, where we'd belly up for one drink, she would have the entire place talking to her in a matter of minutes. She and Loretta would have been the best of friends.
Loretta and Cricket…I can imagine their life so full of excited love. I was glad to hear he was a good father…just what this world needs. Thanks for sharing this gem…I could hear and see her peeling out of the parking lot…🥰🫣🤭💕

This is RICH, Brenda!!! Hahahahaha. I LOVE your Aunt Jimmy!!!!
What a character. I bet she had Cricket flying the better part of his days. And, Loretta sounds like she’s still a lot of fun.
I just love church ladies. ❤️
Me too. So much. So much that I decided to be one. Love my church ladies and wouldn’t be here without them!🙌🏻✝️

Once a neighbor told me that NASCAR is still hiring.
Am I in that same league? I watch for those yellow light runners, too.
Hilarious! Love the bag boy❤️

She sounds a lot like my Birmingham born mama, who lived to be 96.
Loretta sounds like my kind of broad. 🚬 🍻 😀
Me too Holly ~ what a great story!!!

They must have all been wearing their “Smarty Pants” at that second game⁉️ They’re not just full of FUN, you know‼️
Classic!

I will definitely be a church lady someday. Minus the menthol’s and adding some please and thank you’s. It must be in our DNA.
Sean, you’re a magnet for colorful characters. Thank goodness. Please keep sharing
