Photo of the day:
These
pictures were on my phone, Jack Jr. had to show me how to get them to this
blog. ;-O
The top photo is our piano. It is
a heavy decoration. Only visitors play it. I took one fifty cent lesson in
1946. Sherry once learned a few songs, but never continued so it sits until Grandson
Josh drops by or someone else plays us a few songs. The book is one written by
our friend Victor who lives: ‘OVER THERE’.
So for today:
We had a great family get together last Saturday.
I
know all you Grandparents think your grands are the best, but Imma tell you that
ours are the best. I am smiling because it
is SWEET that we all can have the BEST MOM and BEST Grands.
We do have some of the BEST. All have a good work ethic and have been
successful. BUT today I am thinking of a special guy. Joshua is very brainy in
the software area.
He and I sorta joke back and forth about the electronic antique days. Since
I was fortunate to be in on the first break thru in commercial ‘computers’. I
repaired them and programmed some using antic words like Fortran and Cobol. Now he talks the machine’s language. And does
fantastic things that fit inside the computer’s brain.
He
never ceases to amaze me at what he can do physically (He ran a 15 mile ½ marathon
just before coming to the party last Saturday). BUT on the brainy and talent end
he brought with him his piano. It was just about small enough to be in his pocket!
Here it is on the table in our picnic area.
Then he unfolded it!!
And
then he played it. He is an excellent musician also.
We all stood around in Awe as it actually could be played. LOL
Isn’t life amazing?
Oh
and the party planned and payed for by son Mark, Son Jack Jr. joined in and it
was one of the best family get-togethers we have had. WE love to see the cousins playing together...
PS:
God has allowed us to meet some of the best folk on the planet.
In person and here on the net, thank you for being here… reading and when you can leaving a comment. WE appreciate it.

I'm so glad y'all enjoyed a wonderful get-together with the littles and their parents! I'm totally in awe of computer technology; rather, those who understand it.
Now I'm off to Google folding pianos. I happen to know someone who might get a kick out of that.
Never saw a folding piano before. That is amazing. Glad you all got together like that! Family gatherings are always the best!
Glad to see a post - I have missed you.
I have never seen a folding piano either! That was amazing. Does your grandson have gray hair? I am so happy that you had such a GREATE family get together. Sandie
The folding piano is new for me. Pretty cool.
Sounds like you all had a great family time. :)
Thank you so much, Jack, for honouring me by placing my book on your piano. You're a great friend and supporter. God bless you and all your family always. Praying for you all right now.
Well that's a first for me, a folding piano! Looks pretty amazing and how fun to have him play and entertain everyone at the party. We're planning a family reunion in June in Chicago and hopefully it will go off well as my sister is planning the event with the help of her kids and me (helping from Ohio!). I hope you and Sherry are well and enjoying someplace warm these days. Take care you two!
A folding piano? What will they think of next??!
