Campbell .Who?











I went to see Glen Campbell yesterday in Niagara Falls Canada. Yes he is still around.He is just a kid from my stand point. He is 74 years old.And he looks and acts great.He sang alone and with his daughter and to me he is still singing the same. What I remember most of him was his Glen Campbell Christmas shows.It was a nice show and we had a good time. We also went to the conservatorie flower show.Beautiful. Then we saw the Christmas lights at the Falls. We had great weather and a great day. Got home around 9 p.m.

Thanksgiving or Dankdag.







The meaning is the same, the celebration is different. Here it is one of the biggest Holiday and family gathering. In the Netherlands it is a thank you for the harvest celebration in the church. So if you are not a church goer you would not say thanks to the harvest.We had our celebration at Evie and Jim's. The whole family where there and we had a great time.Here are a few memories.

Yes I am back from my vacation to Tenesee. We had a great trip and beautiful weather.High was 78 degrees, I can take that any time.We also made great friends. Three couples from Salamanca. They where the best. Our days where full. Lots of shows and many meals.Also the last day to Dollywood. It is nice but I liked the Great Smoky Mountains the best. We went from Gatinburg to Cherokee. Al the way across the Mountains.The higher we went the more snow we saw, I put my bare feet in the snow at one place, then we came in Cherokee I walked in a sleeveless top.The trees where in full color. What a sight.It also brought back some earl yer camping trips we took some years ago.

Voting

I voted today and it felt good. It gives you a real good feeling of trying to make this country better again. I am surprised to hear on the radio that it looks like 27 % are going to vote today. Why so few. I wish they had it like in the Netherlands by Law you have to vote. If you can not do it they will make that you can.Also they have maby a dozen of party"s you can vote for. All Religions party"s, Social and communist ,Worker and I forgot what else. But one thing I know more then 90% votes. The way we have it , it is so hared to choose you like this of one and that of the other.Some time you wish you had more selections.When one party wins they do every thing there way. No compromise. That is what I do not like. But I keep on voting and always have.
