Matthew

We’re an Aunt and Uncle again! Rachel, Mark’s wife, gave birth to Matthew Anton Hofman yesterday (June 8th) in St. Louis. Her early contractions started early Saturday morning, and they went to the hospital Sunday night, Matthew was born sometime Monday afternoon. That’s too long, if you ask me. They should [...]

“Lunch”

Right before the Brothers left for Missouri, we had lunch together. And by ‘lunch’, I mean that Lloyd cooked up some baked beans, then had his brothers help run speaker cable from the piano, down a hole, across the basement, back up another hole, and hooked it up to his computer. We ate [...]

Something to Crow About

After a somewhat truncated Sommerer Family February Get-together, most of us retired into Jefferson City to attend a fund raiser for Calvary Lutheran High School. Uncle Ralph organized the event with performances by the Rowden Review and the Homestead Pickers. They played Blue-Grass and Old-Timely music, and both groups were really entertaining. It was [...]

The picture is tiny because [...]

Happy Birthday to Me!

*sigh*  The buffer year between me and forty is gone.  I’m 39 today!  I’ve got two whole days to lord my oldness over Lloyd before he joins me, and believe you me – I’ll milk it for everything it’s worth!  I’ll try to be nice, though, because I really like my present. I share this auspicious [...]

Safe!

We made it!  Thirteen hours door-to-door.  I will never. do. that. again.  There is a reason that we have jobs – so we can afford a hotel room and take two days.    It wasn’t all bad – Lloyd played songs on his iPhone, we read books, ate a ton of junk from the cooler, and [...]
