Dad Sang The First Noel and Thank You Lord at Presbyterian Church

On December 2, 1990, Dad sang two solos at our local Presbyterian Church.
Because of that, Pieter went with him on Friday, November 30, right after they went together to the Rotary Club lunch, to the Dublin Presbyterian Church.
Dad could practice his songs with the organist.

Here, Dad is practicing, in his choir robe that he would have to wear on Sunday.
This was Dad's FIRST performance in public, in the United States!

Husband Pieter took these photos...

Here, Dad is seen to the right, in front of Dublin's Presbyterian Church.

On Sunday, December 2, 1990 Mass went well, including Dad's two solos.

On the right page, about center, is mentioned - Special Music: "The First Noel" Piet Van den Munckhof and Dad also sang "Thank You Lord"
Both went very well and it made us proud.
We were invited at the home of some other friends for dinner.

Thanks for your visit and comment.

With Dad to Okefenokee on the Georgia/Florida State Line

On December 1, 1990 we drove to the south of our state Georgia, right on the line with Florida.

For a very special visit with Dad!

Here Dad and I are walking some of the board walks with clear blue sky as you see and too harsh light for decent photos...

Sadly, the original boardwalk that we walked with Dad, got lost in the 2007 Big Turnaround Fire...
See this informative 'The Okefenokee Swamp Park' video here.

Pieter and Dad together.

Okefenokee means 'Trembling Earth' - glad Dad got to experience this!

Enjoy this very short still video from our trip in 1990 with Dad, a guided boat tour down the original Seminole Indian waterways!
It starts out briefly with Dad working in our garden, sawing wood, with the assistance of a friendly neighborhood dog named Ellis...

You get to see a gator as well!

Blessing of our New Home with Dad being Present

On November 30 of 1990, our Pastor came to bless our new home.
It was very special that Dad, the Patriarch of our Family, could be present as well.

On Friday, November 30, Father Conrad Schmitt from our Catholic Church came for the special Blessing of our New Home around 17:30!
Just as Heeroom (brother of my Paternal Grandmother) had blessed the home where Mom & Dad resided all their married years...
We had our previous home also officially blessed by Father Toner, on December 3 of 1984.

Father Conrad Schmitt and my Dad in the door way and me...

Well, I still was preparing dinner for us to enjoy afterward... hence my apron!

After dinner, Dad sat with Father Conrad and we enjoyed a very special evening.

Even the cook got to take her apron off...
Too bad that poor Pieter is not in any photo but he got his blessing!
