Nov 1 - Popcorn Night

Sunset on Grandparents Ranch
Pep, NM
Yep, another big night in Pep, NM. Every Saturday my Grandpa (91 yrs old) hosts "popcorn night" for the family (usually just him, Grandma, Mom & Dad) and whoever happens to be there on Saturday. He has this really, really, really old popcorn popper - it's electric but OLD - that about 99% of the time will pop every kernel of popcorn. "Not like those microwave bags that leave half the bag unpopped" (quote from Grandpa).

He sets up the bowls, the popper and our drinks and we just sit and visit with each other. Grandma will throw in some nuts and whatever candy is handy to round out our snacks. We used to watch the old, country story-teller, Buster Black but we've seen all the episodes now... more than once so we just visit and maybe watch a game show.

I love it.
