Gothic Pincer Attack


 Despite our attempts to buy off the Goths, the invasion was initiated. Wife and I have been fighting for our stolid, tranquil, mostly boring lives. 

These Goths are nothing if not clever. They decided by coordinating their attack they would have the best opportunity to overwhelm de-I and Wife despite the forbidding defenses of the Tower. Hence we had the Visigoths (the Western Goths) using the tactic of wave attacks with first 1.2, then 1.1 and finally the formidable #1 herself joining in the attack. But coordinated with them was the attack of the Ostrogoths (Eastern Goths). They came in a mass attack all at once!

But we of the de-I hegemony are nothing if not resourceful. Though the Goths may come, there are many ways to appease them.  Like Bread and Games.

Games

Taking the Visigoths 1.2 & 1.1 to local attractions, Cliff's Amusement Park & Hinkle Family Fun Center


 


 

 

 Bread

Feeding the Visigoth Queen

 

And her Sister and her family of the Ostrogoths

 

 Goths are too high spirited?

Take them to the calming influence of the Botanical Garden


 

 Of course tricking them into labor is always a good tactic

Don't you want to learn West African cooking? Is always useful on the nomad path.

 Hmmm this seems more like work. #1 and #3 developing a fine hand with Ghanaian Palhava Sauce and Jollof Rice

Does this look like it has "stew like" consistency? I hope so because that is what my teacher in Ghana said it was supposed to be.

 I did break down and give the two Queens some good wine

 Nor should we leave the next generation out as Wife shows 3.1 & 3.2 the finer aspects of gardening.

 

 Nor are we beyond putting them into the kitchen

We enjoyed our invasion! We will definitely come back and recommend it to other Goths.

That was very clever strategy on their part, but you and Wife are not so easily vanquished!
