🎙️ Episode 12 - The Old Man and His Son and His Son and His Son - [Nov 18 & 20, 1942]
Ex-husband Carl makes his presence known for the first time.
Steve and Hans are joined in the shop by Cathy - Hans' mom!
For us, it's father's day, the perfect time for an introduction to Carl, Mattie's ex-husband, Ken's father, and a huge figure in all of our lives. Carl was a difficult (awful?) man, and a tyrant of a husband and father, and looms large in the relationship between Mattie and Ken. And, in a lot of ways, with all of us. The legacy of a father to a son, and then down to his son and his - do these things carry on?
In Mattie's world, It's only a week until Thanksgiving, so it's time to talk about Christmas, and how much she'll miss the boys for Turkey Day. But there's plenty of volunteering to do, and things to accomplish, and Mattie tirelessly takes us through late November.
