The Christmas Recital

Vern, Ruth, & Titus all played at a Christmas recital at their music teachers house. It was a special treat for Mom and Dad to be able to come since they are both very musical and Mom taught piano lessons for many years!

The finished product from a day of hard labor.

Making Sausage

One family tradition that we did in Venezuela was to make our own sausage. Vern worked on building a smoke house this summer. So with the kids coming home it was a good time to have some fun making sausage. Yum, YUM!

Christmas parade

We went to a Christmas parade with Mom and Dad. It was cold but we had a good time watching all the horses. This was a parade that had no cars in it just horses. I would like to go again next year.

Christmas concert

Vern and Ruth had many practice sessions preparing to play for the Christmas concert in town. They made a special memory together.

My birthday

Ruth gave me a chocolate fondue fountain for my birthday. We had so much fun enjoying dipping all that fruit into the chocolate and eating it. Vern gave me a beautiful clock that chimes. I love musical clocks!

The Fam Thanksgiving Day 2006

I have wanted to get going on this for a long time. Our daughter-in-law Kristina was so great in getting me set up but I haven't had the time to post anything. So I will try to post some pictures of the last couple of months and see how things go.
