Growing up on a 40 acres farm (20 acres cleared farmland and the other 20 forest) with always a horse and a great hunting dog the blue laws never really bothered me all that much as we had to travel 8 miles to the closest small town to do any shopping...so we went when stuff was open.
Dad's mother who lived in West Texas (about a 4 hour drive) always had the big gathering where Dad's brothers (all 4 of them) brought their families and kids. It was always a great time to eat, play, and occasionally do some fishing or night hunting for Coyotes or day light Rattle Snake killing as the gathering lasted usually 2 nights and 3 days.
Fond memories and looking back on everything a great childhood I wouldn't trade anyone for. Grandmother passed and there were a few attempts at keeping the gathering alive but jobs and distances pretty much killed the gatherings.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
Silence those who disagree and you will never realize you are wrong.
No one rules if no one obeys
