Music and songs do that to me also. Most songs elicit a happy memory for me. I love sharing these songs and albums with my grandkids now. Recently we shared Jesus Christ Superstar soundtrack with Chandler! What great memories of seeing that play and movie. Thanks again for sharing a great read that had me thinking back to wonderful times in my life! Love and Hugs always!!

That’s awesome! Haha ironically when I think of the band 311 I remember Aaron’s cover band “homebrew” from high school and going to a show in your living room haha

Yes. I refer to that night as “The night our floor almost collapsed “. 40 kids jumping up and down isn’t a good thing for the floor joists!!

Great group of kids! One of the kids left & brought back beer & one of the kids told him he had to leave. He said, “You aren’t going to ruin this for us.”

We had few rules, no drinking & no drugs being 2 of them.

I am happy people had a good time and enjoyed coming here. It made being a parent easier as I had an idea of who my kids were hanging around with.

Good times, fun times!!! Loved having kids over. That was a party for Grease. Susanna was in drama & wanted to have a cast party that night. I think we ended up having around 20 kids spend the night.

One of your best ever...much to be unpacked. Sounds like a first chapter of a much needed book!
