Today was a 400 mile drive, partly in a snow storm, to Waterloo, Iowa. Eight plus hours in the car! Tonight, though, we get to rest. We’re going to the fanciest place in town for dinner. Today when we arrived it had warmed up to 24 degrees and the sun came out! We had an enormous craving to take a walk in the outside air. This would be the first time in a week that we could even breathe it! We ended up walking around mountains of snow in shopping center parking lots. It was hilarious! Everywhere was a dead end of snow, and NOBODY walks around here.
Frank has been going from one minute, trying to eat healthy, in deep-fry country, to the next minute dreaming of double whoppers and breaded tenderloins. I told him, “ Go ahead and get that big greasy monstrosity, just order your daily oatmeal on the side!”
It’s interesting. Usually I’m the one bothering Frank, interrupting him from reading the paper, etc., to chat. Now that I’m doing this BLOG thing, Frank’s requesting my attention. Now we know how each other feels!
Well, we’re off to dinner now in Waterloo, IA… to the Napoleon Bar and Grill! (No, it’s really called the CU (symbol for copper) restaurant.)
Matinee tomorrow.

We are both 75 and admirers after attending the Beaver Dam Concert. Harlan is the ticket ch. for the Dodge County Concert Assn. Both still playing the piano and organ and have a music ministry where Harlan plays solo handbells, does tenor vocal and digital horn. I record our accomp. and play the hammered dulcimer or vibraphone.We loved your piano arrangements and your own compositions. You two are a terrific team and have great rapport. Married 51 1/2 yrs. we used to live in Merrill and took our kids to the Rhinelander concerts sometimes in below zero weather. We love your blog and both of your onstage comments. You inspired us to "keep on"...God's blessings!
