i would say Arlington Texas now because i talked to one night to somebody in Arlington Virginia
oh my yeah and well uh Plano Texas rather than Plano Illinois
oh do they have one
yes they do
oh i didn't know that well i learned something already
yeah well let's see the three questions are what um
how much time do you spend with your children
very little because they're grown they're grown and gone
oh what
oh yeah well mine's are down at UT Austin in college and the other one's in high school so you do spend less time then because
yeah because they don't want to know they almost don't want to know us
they wanna be with their friends well how old are your kids are they married or what
yeah
uh yes i have uh two married two almost and then two almost married and the other two oh i'm not sure well two single two two uh uh for sure single
oh boy you have a lot of kids you
yeah we have between the spouse and myself we have six
oh that's kind of nice though you
because i came with a split family and she had one
you shouldn't be lonesome on a holiday huh
well no there's so much of them are gone and they're doing their own things and
well that's true
and a lot of times they they've got you know uh
on the holidays a lot
they have to see their other parent i guess too
yeah and sometimes they want to do their own thing so sometimes it's just spouse and me and and you know what
i know
right
sometimes that's okay
i know that's what my mother said one time
because you know right because who says that they just must got to come over to see us all the time
right
for the holidays
no that's true and if they force them to you know that's not good either
yeah that becomes a drudgery and when you
well do they all live in the area
well let's see i've got
of the six we've got four around here
um-hum oh wow
uh you know well we're talking like North Texas and then one is in Vermont uh Montpelier Montpelier Monteplier Montpelier Vermont and the other one's in Everett Washington
um-hum
golly
how'd they end up so far away
well that is that's the the the my little pair
uh-huh
and my second marriage um and uh
those are the youngest ones
yeah yeah well the second the the the the fourth and fifth child of the the of the uh six are the two that are scattered like that
um-hum
boy that those are a long way how'd
and well they wanted to go uh JR my my my least son or my middle son excuse me fell in love with Washington state and the the the third daughter fell in love with uh
um-hum
um-hum
uh Vermont so yeah that's where they've gone to make their homes
Vermont so they wanted to make their homes there huh
my goodness are they are those two married
no
are they uh just working up there or going to school or what
well uh let's see
yeah i guess you'd say JR is working and going to school trying to go to school
um-hum
i wish to God he would go back
oh they do eventually if they have if they're meant to i think
yeah
well i certainly hope so
i mean i've got a daughter that's a sophomore at UT and i'm i'm going to UTA right now myself so it's never too late
uh-huh
well it's oh i agree it's never too late
right especially in some of these schools around here i think they have about twenty percent older students
and
yeah and when you're saying older we're talking fifty up
oh yeah i've seen some people that are really really quite up there you know they look like in their very late sixties and i say that's great why not you know
uh-huh
oh my uh-huh
yes why not because that's a a lot of times well it's i i believe that uh
we in that category and i'm not in that category quite yet
but no
but we are seasoned minds
oh yeah you're really ready to learn finally finally i mean i don't know why i even went to college when i was seventeen it was a complete waste of money
yes uh-huh
yeah it was
yeah settle down we know what we're wanting to to uh study and uh
right right now we're
we know our limitations
right and uh
and we don't try to burn the candle at both ends and then the middle altogether
no we don't go out drinking beer till three and then you try to go to class in the morning we're past yeah we're past that age
at seven yeah
yes we're we're smarter than that
we know what we can do oh
yack right um so let's see so mine and i don't spend a whole lot of time because they're not here
um-hum
and so the second question i forgot what the second question
what was it what uh how what do the trends in families and do we approve of what other families do
well uh the trends in the families were to spread apart do your own thing but i have seen lately yes i am seeing
that's right
a change i was gonna say the same thing
i'm seeing a change that whoops government can't do it schools are not able to and between a person's religion
um-hum um-hum
uh their their faith in their maker whether whether you know uh whether you're Christian or Jewish or whatever uh and the family
right
right
those are the two that can that that have the wherewithal and of course
or gonna have sauce on the bone huh
Judeo-Christianity uh and the the Jewish folks too believe that the family unit is the one that was given the uh
um
mission by the Lord to do this very thing so when another group of of uh people step in try to do it they're they're tromping on our territory so to speak so i firmly believe that uh
um-hum
oh
