Frederic Chopin:Nocturne In E Flat Major, Op.9 No.2

I love this composition, it reminds me of all the things beautiful in life. All the love we received and wished to give and all the moments of blessings and friendships that warmed the heart. Oh the joyous times in life, how I will treasure them!

The thousand smiles wrought in life and each glistening tear of happiness when loved ones would come near. Oh the consolation of such things that brings the sweet burden of love to rest upon our lips. How we long to speak of such things in order to relive these moments of bliss which was a priceless gift wrapped in the eternal love of family.

Some Thanksgiving 2010 Photos

I spent Thanksgiving at my Aunt Jonell’s and Uncle Woody’s house. Who by the way is a huge I.U.  fan, so I always torment him with Purdue stuff..lol Today I gave him a Purdue ornament to hang on his tree which he has to put up soon. The funny thing is that my Aunt Jonell will make him do it..lol We like to harass each other over I.U. and Purdue. There son Kevin went to I.U.

A Very Happy Thanksgiving

Today was a good day. I enjoyed the time spent with the family on Thanksgiving day. I think I ate more food then I needed too.  🙂 All the food was really great and Kevin made this pot roast that had five spices in it. It was really, really, good!

I got to see some old photos of my family today which I haven’t seen before so I really enjoyed that. I sent the photos to you guys but in case you did not get them, I will post them here.

The young blond hair boy on the left is my geat grandfather Carl who was a full blooded German. The Old Lady sitting down on the left is his grandmother who only spoke German. They immigrated to the United States along with Nellie who was a German Jew. I believe her family is from Israel. I don’t know the names of the other indviduals in this photograph unfortunally. I just know that it is the Brinkman family.

This is my great grandmother Nellie who was married to my great grandfather Carl.

A later portrait of my great grandfather in 1913.
