Dia de los Muertos

Mom and Dad were 3rd and 4th generation Texans respectively. Both side came out of Tennessee before that. The red-neck genes are in there. On Mom's side were mostly down to earth preachers and housewives. Dad's side includes adventurers and artistic crazies and maybe a cattle rustler or two including James Bonham who left the Alamo, sneaked through enemy lines to get reinforcement, found there was none, sneaked back through and stayed to die a hero. Mom at 95 still runs her own household. Their blood was mostly Celtic, Viking and Saxon. Honor the ancestors. I inherited DNA from them all and find my own balance with it and am an adventurer/artist in my own way. I'm very grateful for them, good and bad, and thankful just to be here and be me.
