Saturday Dad and I went to put flowers on my grandmother's grave in Paris. Dad drove so I said I would pay for lunch. After we visited her grave it was lunch time. Half-teasingly I said let's go to a steakhouse. We did find a Sirloin Stockade. There were cars in the parking lot, always a good sign. So we ordered the steak buffet, hoping for the best. Our server came over and left a survey card at our table. Her name, Tammy R. She came back by and we got to talking with her. Another Tammie worked there so she put R on her survey card so the info would get back on the correct Tammy. She said she is from Oak Cliff - went to Kimball High School. Age-wise she is between my dad and I (or is it me?). My mom was born and raised in Oak Cliff. My dad attended junior high through high school in Oak Cliff. My sister and I were born in Oak Cliff. She said when she got married she dropped her middle name, Faye, because of Tammy Faye Bakker. Hey, I get called Tammy Faye, Tammy Jo, etc, and I answer to them all. The R is her married name, Rogers.
She said her birth name is Tammy T!! Well I'll be. I told her that is my name, too. We were all laughing and amazed.
