Why I Love my Brother-in-Law Mostly or Why I Didn't Get to Attend the Dinner at Ridglea on Saturday Night and my Sort of Consolation Prize of Meeting Sneaky Pete from Breaqking Bad

[Kay Thompson Fields]

My spouse has a younger brother who lives close to Burleson on some acreage.  He has been a widower for 20+ years.  He is 63.  In 2009 he was diagnosed with diabetes.  He has been less than perfect in taking his meds, watching his diet, etc.  Before we moved to Tennessee I tried VERY hard to get him to come with us with no success.  In January of this year right before Super Bowl weekend we get a call from the paramedics in Texas.   He had been found unconscious in a diabetic coma. So we proceed to drive to Texas.  He has had a widowmaker heart attack, stroke, and various other unsavory medical issues.  We stayed for a few days and then drove back to Tennessee.  My spouse made numerous trips back this spring to get the situation stabilized.  He still will not come to Tennessee.  So on the day of my 50th high school reunion he has another heart attack.  So one more time we get the situation under control. As we were leaving to come back, he asked my spouse when we were moving back to Texas.  Can you believe this.. Aside to Marti Grace.. This is the father of my niece, Jenny, who I told you about.  So Friday I saw my long time friend and hairstylist, Andrea Newsom.  She is located in the Legacy Salons in Ridglea.  As we were visiting one of the shampoo ladies came in.  She told Andrea she wanted to introduce her friend, Sneaky Pete from Breaking Bad.  I was also introduced and had a really pleasant chat with him.  He is a very unassuming young man and is currently in the new show "Blacklists"  I had the presence of mind to take a picture.  The picture is way horrid of Andrea.  She has her eyes closed.  Evidently he has a childhood friend who started working at Legacy after I left Texas.  He comes to Texas to have him style his hair. He hopes to someday be able to hire him full time as his stylist.. Anyway, I missed visiting with so many of you.. Let's continue to e-mail, write, etc.. I will post Sneaky Pete's photo
