Döner Kebap

August 15, 2017August 16, 2017 Jo Tango

We did one more overnight in Munich before flying back on Saturday. That last family dinner after a long week of cycling is something that I try to make special. So, after looking at a bunch of menus online, I decided on an Argentinian steak place called El Gaucho. It is in the “old city”

I love Saturday snowstorms. We’re due for up to 12″. But, before all that, we had a family outing this morning: a youth music gala. The eastern district of the state conducts auditions for various music groups. Those groups later will audition for the all-state groups. Two of our kids are in the district chorale.

Our Christmas Week

December 29, 2016March 10, 2018 Jo Tango

This has been the best Christmas week of my life. Our son is home from his 1st semester at college. It is great to have him back. Also, no travel, some good meals, a happy vibe at the house, and a realization that our children have become very amazing people. Here are snapshots of memories. Mrs.
