Minnesotans and their love of weather...always something to talk about...any time, any where.

It is that time of year again where cabin fever starts to set in around our house. 

What do you do when you're missing your grasndkids and making music with them? You create a file in GarageBand and send it back and forth until you have a song together.

Jefferson Hascall

My  latest sun is sinking fast

My race is nearly run

My strongest trials they now have passed

My Triumph now has begun

Oh, come, the angel band

Come and around me, stand

Oh bear me away on your snow white wings

To my immortal home…

Oh bear my longing heart to Him

Who bled and died for me

Whose blood now cleanses all from sin

And gives me Victory

I’ve almost gained my heavenly Home

My spirit softly sings

The Holy Ones behold they come

and I hear the sound of wings…

After the past 4 1/2 years together with Max, he finally has employment and a job that fits him.

What else is there to do at 3AM??

A look back, a look ahead...and a reminder to stay in the moment.

Time sure does fly by. Here are some songs by the grandkids when they first were learning to play instruments. 2 and 4 year olds banging out the percussion instruments and ukuleles and guitars strumming wildly, but always beautiful voices. It was some of my best days ever teaching them how to make music and playing and singing together. Now half of the grandkids are out of state and the ones nearby are getting older and have jobs and other activities. Their voices have changed and deepened. And the richness of their voices is something special to hear. 

Wearing eyeglasses after 50. I am not to be trusted with them...but Max will take charge.

It's been a year since we both have been home together retired. How's it going...give a listen.

Learning a new old way...cast iron cooking.
