Dancing Dad
As I was out and about today, I was stopped at a red light near the elementary school. This particular light is very long, so I have time to look around and notice things. Across the street was man walking with a little girl. I assumed he was the dad. As they approached their crossing […]
Church Beginnings
I been trying to finish sorting out the different kinds of media here in the house, including the VHS tapes. There are so many that my dad recorded – particularly Star Trek and Sherlock Holmes. There are also some family movies, recordings of events, and some that are undefined. I had a stack that I […]
More Music
My brother is here going through the last few cassette tapes that we found. Years ago, he spent time with my dad digitizing the tapes of my mom playing piano and singing in different venues, and of family recordings. However, as I was sorting out things, I came across a handful of cassettes that my […]
Marching Band
Laat year I learned that a friend’s daughter was attending the same high school that I graduated from and that most of my siblings went to. The teenager was also in the marching band. My friend shared lots of photos and videos on social media. And I saw her at their annual craft fair/fundraiser. My […]
Entertaining Dog
My son and his fiancee had tickets to spend the day at the local Renaissance Festival today. I was happy to take care of his dog for the day. They brought her to my house this morning so I got to see their Renaissance attire which looked very festive. It was fun having the dog […]
Singing in Heaven
When my dad was alive, he and my brother worked hard to digitize the family cassette tapes and CD’s. They included family updates with us kids talking, as well as my mom playing the piano and singing. We found a box of cassette tapes at the house, so my brother went through them today to […]
Gin Rummy
A while ago, our friend who would come and play piano with my mom fell and broke her hip. Thankfully, she is all healed up now. While she was recovering, her daughter stayed with her. When I visited during that time, I was talking with the 2 of them about keeping busy. They told me […]
My Heart is a Violin
Today I heard part of the story of Shony Alex Brau. It was a story of incredible faith and relying on God. In short, he was a gifted violin player who was sent to concentration camps as a boy during the Nazi regime. At one point, he had to prove his musical capability or be […]
Playing the Accordion
Both my brothers, one sister and I got all together tonight. It was a mini reunion. We were only missing our younger sister. The 4 of us went to our favorite German restaurant and ordered our favorite German foods and drinks. It was delicious. At the end of our meal, the accordion player came out […]
American Idol
I have heard a lot about this current season of American Idol, but had not watched it. I did see a couple videos of the Easter Praise and Worship special they did, which was quite surprising and moving. I turned the show on by accident tonight and got sucked in. It was definitely the most […]
