Thanks To Our Veterans!

Veteran's Day was a few weeks ago, but this weekend marked another opportunity to honor those who served in our armed forces.  I have been honored to provide the entertainment at the 3rd District Midwinter VFW conference for the past 5 years. This event is held at the Holiday Inn and is very well attended. As a veteran and a member, I was proud of the turn out this year, and proud of all the services  the VFW organization supports throughout the year for the benefit of our veterans and our active duty personnel.  I am always touched by the annual tribute paid to our POW's and MIA's who are absent, but never forgotten. 

                           "Judy, Judy, Judy" and I singing at the conference. 

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS.  MY ANNUAL KARAOKE CHRISTMAS PARTY WILL BE HELD ON DECEMBER 16TH AT SCOR.  HOPE TO SEE YOU!

Still Doing It "Her Way" at 75

We all had a wonderful time celebrating Carolyn's  birthday with her at Scor. Carolyn may be 75, but she is now aging in reverse!   No sipping tea or water for Carolyn.  She gulped down Tequila Shooters! 

 

No sitting quietly on the sidelines! 

Carolyn was picking up younger men! 

Carolyn was the Trivia Queen, as everyone learned  about her life. Did you know that the Loch Ness Monster was first spotted the year Carolyn was born? Carolyn started singing Karaoke when she was 70 years old. Five years later, she is still going strong and the audience loves her. Carolyn's favorite song is "My Way" because it describes her attitude towards life. Congratulations, Carolyn.  Keep on doing it your way! We love you!

  

Hello Kitty!

Brenda and I are the proud parents of a little orphaned kitty who appeared at our house yesterday. Poor little thing was starving, scared and pathetic. What a difference a day makes! She is making herself right at home now and is learning to eat and play.  She thinks our dog, Gizmo, is her mama.  Fortunately, Gizmo is being very tolerant and protective of her. 

HALLOWEEN

Didn't get many photos taken this year, but here are a few.  That's Jim and Gail as the flapper and hippie, and I am the Scotsman, of course. And yes, I did wear something under my kilt! Shorts! I needed some pockets! Hope your Halloween was fun!

The Beat Goes On...

Many people will walk in and out of your life, 
but friends will leave footprints in your heart. 

We will always treasure our memories of Bernie and Gracie.

The beat goes on and on and on, even when some members of the band are gone. This week we saw the passing of two very special people, Bernie Karns and Grace Cliff.  Most will remember Bernie's  lifetime as an entertainer. Remember also, that through all his trials and experiences, the beat went on.  Gracie too, was always upbeat, headstrong and supportive. As we remember these two in the coming days, let's keep the beat going. The  beat goes on......
