LOL!  BIG TIME LESSON, FROM BIG TIME OLDER SISTA!  POWER LUNCH AT MARY'S PLACE, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON!

Overall, I like to consider myself, not prejudice, as far as I know, and every once in a while, I find out, that, I am a bit prejudice and I work hard to stop, any form of bigotry, and if I don't my kids, will remind me that I am a bigot, which is like  huge, slap in the face for me!  It is called aversion therapy, I remember, flying into Atlanta, Georgia, to visit my oldest daughter and her husband, and see their new home in Althreta, and when, I flew to the city, I was the only white woman, which from lily white, Utah, where the only blacks, 20 years ago, in the state, were playing on the Jazz basketball team, or playing on college teams, almost!  But, I made the observation, that, now, I know how a black feels, when they fly to Utah, and they are the only, person of color in the whole fucking state!  LOL!  Only, I didn't swear, in those days, didn't need the stress relievers in those days, and the 75% stress release, like I do now!  But, my daughter, immediately, said, Mom, you bigot!  WHAT?  A reality check, just like the time my son was going to the PRIDE parade, in Salt Lake City, Utah and I said, son, being, liberal enough to deal with it, if he needed to come out of the closet and let me know, that he was gay . . . why are you going to that?  Again, like a blistering slap across the face, Mom, you bigot!  Luckily, those are the only two times, I had to be schooled by my kids!  Painful, to someone, who prides themselves, in not being one of Trump's Deplorables!  LOL!

So, while I was in Seattle, WA, very fun, very good for me, and I believe, the soul sisters, with all of us, dancing to the Soul Train, at our New Year's Eve Party, early, thank heavens, at Angeline's Women's Rescue Mission, where I was a resident for a week, after getting in a debate with, and I can't call, my lover boy black, because, that is what, landed me in the rescue center!  LOL!  But, my bro, whom, I have loved, embraced, denied, beat the shit out of, and loved, over the last four years, dealing with, whatever, ails, us, working on, whatever it is we have, but with the understanding, that, it really is, love without strings, but dealing with the realities of whatever, is going on with both of us, at the time, we get together, whenever, and doesn't seem to be going away!  But, during my stay, I lived with the sisters, and I just adored them, and absolutely, loved, dancing and partying with them, even shocked, and here is a prejudice, is I was shocked to see, a white chick, besides me, dance well, so there were a couple of us, at the New Year's Party, at Angeline's, and the only one, I got this year, because, I didn't sleep on the bus ride back to, Missoula, Montana, so, last night, at my motel room, I ordered pizza and fell asleep at about 6 PM!  LOL!  Only to wake up, after a 5 hour nap, thinking, I had missed, the countdown, and the ball dropping in New York, and around the world, to find, that I didn't miss anything, it was still only, 10:30 PM, party time, finish that pizza, chicken pieces and that last chocolate lava cake, for tomorrow, is the new year!  But, during my stay, I discovered, Mary's Place . . . and my POWER LUNCH!

GET YOUR BABY, SHE IS GOING TO GET HURT!  WHAT?  CAN'T YOU SEE, THAT IS NOT MY BABY?  NO, THIS OLDER LADY, JUST EXCHANGED, MOM, FOR OKAY, GRANDMA, GET YOUR BABY!  LOL?

Now, this, incident, taught me, how truly, colorblind, we all can be, should be, and with work, can, in society achieve!  MIRACULOUS!  So, at Mary's Place, they have a dining room with about, 6 or more tables, set up, for breakfast and lunch, and yummy, at both, but, there was this mom/grandmother, whom, I made friends with, and she invited me to eat with her, and her two grand kids, and her daughter, she is raising her son's two kids too, a wonderful, woman, and better than I am, I told my kids, you had them, I raised you, so they are your responsibility!  I have a life . . . lol!  But, if need be, I would raise to the occasion, but only, IF, I had to--I love them, but, I raised my four, not into raising theirs, babysit, every once in a while, but . . . seriously, I did my time!  LOL!  But there are team captains, or table captains, and they have the job, of setting up the table, getting all the food, to be served family style, and cleaning up the tables.  This very take charge woman, did everything while I sat there, on my computer, loved the fact that they had Internet!  But, after the dinner, while this woman, was dishing up food for her husband, and needing to change the baby's diaper, with only, two hands, and with all due respect and fairness, I hadn't done jack shit, so I figured, as I always to, that, it is my duty to contribute and so I offered to clear the table, and finish, what I could tell, she took, to be her job, and she reluctantly handed over to me, in the interest of expediency, and wanting to get on her way, so, she trusted me to accomplish this last task of the meal and dinner for her.  She disappeared.

So, being the efficiency expert, that I consider myself, I saw a black tray or shelf on wheels, and decided rather than taking 4 trips, back and forth to the kitchen, I would borrow that, load everything on, and take everything at once!  I did, and some, told me, that was not the way things were done, but overall, they, saw it was fast and best, and they followed suit, doing what I did.  But, I am not sure, when the youngest baby, of this table captain, came back, but she was free stylin' around the floor without, anyone watching her, and the older, lady at the next table saw her, going to climb on  some chair stands, that could have been disaster, and dangerous.  So, she turned to me and yelled, hey, your baby, is going to get hurt.  I don't have any babies here, and I continued to wash off the tables, and looked around for, the grandma and mother, but, she was no where to be found!  I figured the oldest or the daughter of the mother, who is also a grandmother was watching the baby, and I said, like obviously, this is not my baby . . . that is not my baby!  I have always been task oriented, and wanted the whole table and mess to be cleaned up, for the overworked, and under appreciated, mother, and grandmother, but, then, the lady, retched up, my call to duty, and said, well, okay, GRANDMA, get your grand kid!

CAN'T SHE SEE, THIS BABY CAN'T BE MINE?

This was not an issue of being prejudice, but it was, like, this genetically, is not, my grand kid, or my child!  Then, it dawned on me, as I watched the aunt, and mommy's little helper, come to get the baby, as I yelled at her, that she needed to get her sister, and keep her off the chair racks, and keep this woman off my back, making me look, entirely, incompetent as a mother or grandmother . . . then, the beauty of what, just took place, set in, and I got this big grin on my face, thinking, how wonderful, that this older woman, didn't distinguish, didn't care, saw a need, a baby had, and told me to take care of the problem!  Is this not a more perfect Union, domestic tranquility, common welfare, general defense, justice for all, prosperity for me and my posterity!  THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE I WANT EVERYONE TO BE, BUT, I NEVER EXPERIENCED, ANYTHING LIKE IT, AND THIS IS WHAT, BOYFRIEND, WANTED ME TO SEE TOO . . . WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE ARE OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER, WE ARE ALL MICHAEL BROWN, OR TRAYVON MARTINS, WE ARE ALL MEMBERS OF BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW, RED, BROWN, LIVES MATTER . . . SO, I SHOULD HAVE HUSTLED MY SORRY, BIGOTED, PREJUCIDE ASS OVER AND TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM!

LOVE IS COLOR-BLIND.  JUSTICE IS COLOR-BLIND.  GOODNESS IS COLOR-BLIND.  NIEGHBORHOODS, NEED TO BE COLOR-BLIND.  COPS, PROSECUTORS, JUDGES, JAILORS, NEED TO BE COLOR-BLIND!  I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS, EVOLVING, MIXING, MATCHING, MORPHING, AND WE ALL NEED TO LET THIS THING HAPPEN!  SOMETHING BIG IS HAPPENING.  SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING ON . . . AN I DIG THE HELL OUT OF IT!  THANKS, GRANDMA GRUMP, FOR LAYING THAT KID TO MY CHARGE, IT CHANGED MY LIFE!

RACE RELATIONS, 2017!  WAY COOL!
