We talk Christmas, California, best friends, no internet, nurses, and Panetone.

We talk white elephants, peanut brittle, Wright Brothers, baking cookies, hot chocolate, snowflakes and the winter solstice. And for some reason we talk about kidnappers and we argue just a little.

We talk about brownies, work success, symphonies, human rights, blue eyes, basketball and drummers.

We talk Uncle Sam, open houses, overcoming addiction, coloring books, Walt Disney, buffets, and Pearl Harbor all while our mouths are full of delicious brownies.

We talk rock, paper, scissors, family photos and fun, religious freedom, Thanksgiving, manners and multitasking. Whew!

We talk peace, Mickey Mouse, spouses, scrapbooks, hellos, JFK, and news.

We discuss the Marines, veterans, homemade bread, Sadie Hawkins, recycling, cleaning the fridge, and philanthropy. Anna can’t stop giggling half the time and mom falls asleep half way through the chat.

It was only kids last week and this week it’s only the parents… in the closet! Ryan and Becky share their thoughts about sandwiches, food storage, science fiction, chili, home making, raking leaves and Atticus Finch.

The kids take over completely this week for a kids only episode. They chat safety, David S. Pumpkins, Halloween, make up and journals.

We talk do overs, scary movies, M&Ms, keeping change, art, and pumpkins.
