Where is everyone #5

Oma always called me Schatz, unless I was getting into trouble. Never seemed to last too long.

Was her 1st grandson. She favored the hell out of me.. lol

 

I thought I was the only one with an Oma

 

Call mine darlin , as in hey darlin get your sweet ### over here and gimmie sum of dat good stuff .

 

Well, I always talked down to her. But in a nice loving way...

 

Man, as they say. "I'll bet that smarts.." Semi serious, A longer sledge handle might get that on by next time...

 

How do you measure up? Can you keep your feet in an even match?

 

I'm the worse on remembering what village in Germany Oma was from. Need to ask ma again.

Oma come here in '52 or '53?
Grandpop met her working at a diner in Hoboken, NJ. He was a WWII vet, but a Navy man on the USS Texas, & only when she was in the pacific theater..

Never heard any stories about them not getting along but maybe I should ask?

Oma's dad, was in the SS Calgary & sent off to Stalingrad. Left weighing 205lb & barely made it out alive returned at 90lbs. My understanding is the SS basically abandoned them. Had to eat their horses, darn near froze to death, & some of the Russian women actually snuck them bread & potatoes at their own risk of execution by Russian soldiers to keep them from starving to death. He seemed soured on his homeland..

Pretty sure Great Grand dad was proud to be an American when he come here in the late '50's..?

 

68 degrees tonight in washington. After coming from 114 in arizona, think i might need a jacket

 

Tuesday mornin at 4am in Boise it was humid and 77*. Felt like home. Got sunburnt in Rexburg tarping hay at 95*, and ran that to Navajo.

Getting reloaded in Holbrook it was 96* and started raining. I kept strapping and got pretty cool. Finished up and the truck said it was 61*.

It warmed back up headed back into NM, but I hit a storm in Sante Fe. By the time I came over Raton into CO, it was 45* and I had to turn the heat on.

Been cooler here at home too since I got here. 69* right now, fixin to head out and enjoy the day.

Been some crazy weather for sure. I'm ready for fall and some mid 50 highs.
