When people see my surname I am often confused for someone who subscribes to a particular neopagan religion that worships Gaia or Mother Earth. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. My last name GAIAN is only two generations old. If my great grandmother had not gotten mad at my great grandfather

I had forgotten about these pictures from a BBQ Brethren Bash awhile ago. What do you do when you’re sitting around all day visiting and cooking and someone breaks out the Oreos and puts them down next to a little leftover bacon.
