Lessons learned the hard way lately … The part for the electric train was 40 cents, labor $50 — lesson learned (by Matt this time) ask about price before agreeing to have train fixed. This is a long story — you see my parents bought Tyler and Taylor trains when they were about 2 years… Continue reading

Tyler turns 7 today! I’m really weirded out about this. Last night I made Matt hook up the camera so I could watch the video of when he was born and it all seems surreal. Even more so ’cause my Mom and Dad meeting Tyler was at the end of it. It was almost too… Continue reading

Anyway after destroying the… Continue reading

Recovered Oser family-history source — five-page typed memoir scanned and emailed to Danielle on November 3, 2008. Gladys says in the text that she researched her birth record in the summer of 1985, so the memoir was written in or after 1985. This is a best-effort transcription from the surviving scan. Obvious typewriter overstrikes are… Continue reading
