Danon, LOL


Are family antiques the best? I still possess a lovely mantle clock my parents received as a wedding gift. Still works too! Amazing.

Here's to family and recalling many smiles...

Happy saturday. All clicked in.

Hi wayfarer,
I really like your photos on the MyFamily site. Thanks for publishing them. That area of France is on our list of places to go on our next visit to the Continent. It's really not all that far from N Italy either. My plan is to begin our visit at Monaco then Nice, Marseille, Avignon then trace your recent route from Narbonne, Toulouse to the Dordogne area. From there Bordeaux, Cognac, Limoges cross the mountains (avoiding Vichy - kidding) to Lyon. Then through the mountains to Torino, Italy and back home to Patti's cousins home. I'm planning two weeks for that part of our trip.

Just Susan was asking about the web site for the Modillon figures - I have found the following =

Clicking on English at the page bottom helps.
Then clicking on "modillon" on the left or page bottom will allow you to see each figure up close. I noticed that the model for the mens face figures are apparently the same man except for the #1 figure - that appears to be someone else. Strange - but understandable.

Stradee,
Yep, We have stuff from our GGgrandparents scattered around the house. The pie chest that shrank from it's original twelve foot highness to it's present four feetness. The ice chest my GGgrandpa sold sodas from at ballgames in the late 1800s. Victrola from grandpa. Lots of old steamer chests and bunches of little stuff like stereo photo viewers, pipes, razors w/strops, snuff stuff, guns, Etc.
I could never bear to throw anything away - yep, attics full.

ww and ehBeth clicking in.

Click.

Happy Sunday to all.

Danon, looks like you will be a fast traveler next year.

Has anybody heard about a town in Canada named Mozart? I have to prepare a project about Mozart ( 250th Birthday in 2006) and I was told about this town, but couldn't find anything on the web.

Must be this place, ul:
MOZART: when the Canadian Pacific Railway was going through the farming community one of the local settlers suggested the name in honor of her favorite composer. Streets in the small town have also been named for composers.


Mozart

Mozart, Saskatchewan

Great! Thanks so much, Walter.

You even send e-cards with 'your' Mozart motive:

Walter, you can compose your own individual menuett, based on your name and your birthday.

There is a lot of fun in preparing projects.

How very strange. I posted a response here earlier, but it is not here now. Anyway,happy Sunday to all, and I clicked.

Thanks for the KV 294d [that's what I got from my name/date of birth] - listened to it, of course, while eating a Mozartkugel

I did it with mine - it was lovely.

pwayfarer, or anyone,

May I see the pictures? I don't know where to go.

I think that the hamsters must still be drunk, or hung over, from a night of revelry. I just received two Topic Reply Notifications, back to back, on this thread, going to different posts here. Not supposed to happen that way.

Thanks to link, provided on the rainforest thread by ul,

I'm listening now Mozart's KV 294d :wink:

Walter, this kind of composing is a kind of a Math game- called Mozart's Dice.
I first saw it in Gießen.
And although it is based on KV 294 it is always different. All my borrowed kids (27) tried it.

Well, even borrowed Austrian children are math- and music genies ... :wink:

Walter---what a cool avatar you have.
ul---I'm listening to the music.

Ul and Walter, now you've got me making music on a beautiful Sunday morning. Thank you both for this delightful pastime.

In between notes, I clicked.
