Gospel Singing Rosie & Tony Baldridge

Click on any photo to make them larger for better viewing.

Nevada's Sister Rosie and her husband Tony decided to give up there home and jobs to become fulltime Gospel singers. So they met us in Quartzite Arizona were we spent 3 weeks this Jan.
Sorry but my camera doesn't take long videos so therefore not much of the song is on there.

Quartzite is a busy place in Jan & Feb. because they hold the annual Rv show there every yr.
If you ever want to see what a place looks like with a half a million rver's this is the place to go. Altho this yr it was not as full as in the past yrs. Not as many vendors either, but busy enough.

This is were you can dry camp and learn all you can about what and how long you can go without dumping your holding tanks and also being sparing on the water that you use. Military showers a must.

This particular group that they are singing for is called the Escapees Christian Fellowship a yahoo rver's group.
They were parked not far from us.

This fellow was from Canada and he joined them in music, he was very good on that guitar

This is Rosie and a couple of the members of the fellowship he was singing with her.Everyone was having a good time. Tony got the members to participate in the singing. This lady had the highest voice a glass should of broken.

Happy Birthday to my son Jan

Well i would like to say Happy Birthday to my son Jan, he is 40 yrs old today,He was born in Spokane Wash. at Fairchild Air Force Hospital, on Friday the 13th.1968.
5 lbs 9 oz. He is such a cutie , He was a month early so here he is in the incubator. His daddy was in the Army, in Korea, so he wasn't able to be there when he was born. Boy times have changed when i had him. Everything was so restricted, no one could be there accept my husband or a parent. which i had neither.
So my friend Linda was with me most of the time. My mother finally did come, but had a car accident on the way, No she wasn't hurt, only the car was damaged. Thank goodness.
I had moved to Spokane so that i could be near the hospital so I wouldn't have to pay. I think the total bill for having him was around $21 and that was for food i ate.
I was in the hospital a week before they let me go home.
Here is a photo of his Daddy, Now my ex. And here is a photo of me, all of the age of 17.
And here he is now at the age of 40

More photos of me in Germany

This was Easter at my grandmothers, this is me on the left and my aunt Ulli, and my grandmother. I remember she would make a big deal about easter and hide the eggs. Can't see them in this photo. Those were days i wish i could go back too, my grandma and i were very close. Can't say the same for my aunt tho. Grandma or Oma is what I called her, used to spoil me, as she new i didn't like onions, so when she would fix meals, she would cut the onions real small so that i wouldn't know they were in there. i think my aunt didn't like that, as one day when my mom went to work my aunt babysat me, and as soon as mom left she got the biggest onion and peeled it and sat me in the corner and said NOW you eat this. To this day i don't like onions. But boy when my mom got home and found me sitting there with that onion my aunt got into a lot of trouble.Well i am not sure what this was all about accept sillyness, on the left is my mom, then my uncle Peter, my grandma's sister, grandma.
I think they were having fun from the looks of it.This is another good photo shot of my mom, my uncle Peter and Ulli, and Me.
Uncle Peter was my favorite . He was a baker. and a very good one at that.Not having a father he sort of took the place of one for me. Whenever he was around he always spent a lot of time with me.Here is a photo of my uncle Peter and me, this was taken in Stutgart on the hill were we used to live, made for great sledding.

Have a great Memorial Weekend

Well i hope that everyone has a great Weekend, and the weather is nice for you all, altho i am glad that i am not out there driving.

I do however miss the rush and the gatherings of the kids, and the camp fires. The smell of wood burning, and the smell of marshmellows roasting over the fire.
Remembering last summer when we took our grandkids camping, my grandaughter Christiana wanted to roast marshmellows, she would put them on the stick and hold them over the fire for a second and said there done grandma, I looked at her and the marshmellow and said honey they have to be black to be good. She did not agree with me, said she likes them just like that, one brief wisk over the fire. Kids are so funny.
