Sing, Strings & Things Coffee House....

after we got Home from my Dad's 
Birthday Celebration
the High School hosted a
~Coffee House~
Anyone who wanted to join could
sign up and perform for an audience 
of about 60+ who attended,
for a small donation of $2.00 or more if you wanted.
With the proceeds going to our Middle School
to help the Guitar Class with supplies.

Food, beverages, and of course,
Coffee were available for a small fee.

My husband and I weren't going to attend
after the 2 hr ride Home from the B-day celebration,
but, Mallory did and called and told us Dad needed to
come and bring his Banjo....
so we went.  The host, Mr. Rousseau, our M.S. band director
saw us come in with a Banjo and invited my husband to 
come up and jam with him!

They got the crowd going and the banjo music
was a Welcomed addition to the night!
My husband had a blast!

Then little did we know....

Mallory and her friend got up and performed....
This is something Mallory absolutely
LOVES
to do, but hasn't done often in front of a crowd!

Had I known I would have brought my
camcorder and recorded them.  They sang
Torn
by Natalie Imbruglia
They were Awesome!!

Mr. Rousseau
making adjustments to the sound if needed


The girls did a fantastic job....
hope they keep it up and sing at the 
other Coffee House performances that
are sure to come!
It was a fun night!
Thanks for stopping!

GREAT Grandpa to 20+, I've lost count, ranging in age from

I'm the baby!
Her husband was out of town.

 She ordered these fabulous roasted peanuts that
the restaurant roasts themselves....
Our family loves peanuts!

 We met at a pizza place called
Cascarelli's
located in a small southern town in Michigan
if you live anywhere near you've probably heard of it.

This is my brother Emzy "MZ" with Dad....
Odd name you say....
not to us, he was named after an Uncle.
I'm told it comes from the Bible!
He named his son the same....
and his son did the same!
They're everywhere!

 Emzy & Kathy....
not an odd name, but a sweet addition to our family for sure!
Love you Kathy!

This is my sister Melinda and to her left (actually the bearded guy)
on her right,
is her husband Mark Tank....
Love this guy!
Big Teddy Bear for sure!

 Someone ordered these cheesy breadsticks....
by the time they got to our side of the table
and I remembered to take a picture
this is what was left!
That's how good they were!

 We all ordered a different 16 inch pizza....
one didn't even make it to the table yet....
Yes, there were leftovers!
Ooooo so Good!

 ~Cheesy Goodness~

 The one in the hat is our oldest sister Barbara
& her husband Darryl
They got us all together to celebrate.
There were some stories that came out
as they tend to do when family gets together.
Memory Lane is visited....
lots of laughter....
GOOD Stuff!

 Then it was Happy Birthday time....
My brother and my hubby
brought their instruments, brought them in
and we sang to our Dad....
He doesn't look to sure about this,
he said he was glad he didn't bring his 
hearing aides....ha, ha!

But, we had fun and are
~Thankful~
that we were able to celebrate another
Birthday with him!

Happy 82nd Birthday Dad!
Love You!
