Visiting with Adeline

OMG, today was FUN!

Joanie and I went to Pierz to see her mom, and the talk just FLEW...lol Part of what's so fun is that almost anything can surface when you're talkin' family--for instance, did you know that Grandpa's brother Math was an Excelsior Motorcycle Dealer? Or, that Huntzie Hesch was an accomplished whistler? (That tidbit came from a gentleman who grew up on a neighboring farm. He said when conditions were right they could HEAR him, almost a mile away! lol)

We shared pictures and stories, and we laughed. A lot!

This pic is one I've waited for. Remember in Math's Diary, when he said "Annie Klein is here with us now. We're going to have our picture taken..." ?
I think THIS is that picture:

Do you think Annie was a relative of Max Klein who married Lucy Hesch?

Later, Joanie and I had supper at the Old Bank Cafe. As we were leaving, a woman walking by looked at me and said, "Aren't you a Hesch?" LOL

THAT felt great!
