Fun unexpected phone call from my cousin Tom….Wis. dairy farmer….maple syrup :)
Amanda working on her conversational French
GPa meeting another Korean veteran…war stories :)
True story: remembering the huge train wreck on Feb. 2, some 25+ yrs. ago, at about 3a.m….it was minus 72 degrees with wind chill !! Yes, 72 degrees below zero :( Explosion woke us up! The windows at the Carroll College dorms were blown out… grateful because no one was seriously injured throughout it all….night before the dorm students had pulled their beds away from the windows and covered the windows with the curtains to keep out the cold…a blessing. The students were transported to a safe place and they were lining up to use a phone to call parents….no cell phones then! Property damage throughout a large area….our home was okay….went to work that day and pitched in for those people who were not able to be there.
David watching the Broncos parade in Denver…got good pics of Peyton as well :)
Cathy back from her fun trip to Florida :)
Harry with his white “santa” beard….when he saw our overloaded grocery basket at the store he exclaimed “Holy Christmas! You’re gonna have to get a job!” …to pay for the groceries, of course LOL Good ole Harry, gotta love him :)
Brought back memories of GPa’s love of music which began with his Dad who had an orchestra and could play most all the instruments.
Remembering our camping trips at the lake where GPa would play the guitar and sing while everyone at the campground gathered around for hours.
One year bought our three children each a guitar to teach them…they loved it.
Oh, and when he was young he also learned to play the trumpet…until his younger sister decided to clean it, took it apart, washed it, and tried to put it back together..
Oh Oh…
Love music of many kinds…country western, folk, jazz, Latin American, piano, opera, saxophone, guitar, brass…..
