Since I just got back to this blog with the help of my daughter Grace Long Johnston, I am setting a new policy of telling a little about what is going on now before history takes over. Today the Johnstons are here to spend the afternoon and we are touring the greenhouse, watching movies and eating broccoli rice casserole . We took a little stroll over to uncle Chris's and he demoed his new guitar . It is good to know he has several band jobs booked up ahead and I hope to get to dance at most of them. My gentleman friend and dance partner just called to say that he thinks the old house he is restoring has a secret widows walk on the roof. How exciting! Now if we can just keep him from falling off it.
Rapp Family
I went to see Aunt Count this last week and she was telling me some things about her brother Wayne. She said she was closest to him and he is the one who gave her the name "Countess de Grasse. He read constantly so he may have gotten the name from one of the books he was reading.
She explained that he bossed most of the farm work while Grandpa Earl worked for his dad in the garage and auto business. I would like to know more about that.
