Thirty years later a friend took me to a bar/general store on an Indian Reservation in New Mexico and the old guys were watching Lawrence Welk on a tiny black and white TV.

My mother was in California with her sister visiting her aunt, who happened to know my dad's sister. They all went out to a Lawrence Welk dance place that was cantilevered over the ocean. There, my parents met and when my dad was in the war in Germany they corresponded and later married. Growing up, there wasn't a Saturday night in our house when we didn't watch the Lawrence Welk Show.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952752325170210470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-497942785707182672016-08-04T15:27:11.249-07:002016-08-04T15:27:11.249-07:00Aw what a nice story!Aw what a nice story!The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225908709483096965.post-3334434843150975922016-08-04T12:21:28.149-07:002016-08-04T12:21:28.149-07:00Oh I know about that.
