Opa and Oma henceforth. Opa was
a funny & loving man. In his later years he walked almost
everyday , in Banquete. The children waited for him. He would
make scarey faces at them, and they would scream and run away,
and be right back, as they knew it was a game, and most of the
time there was a nickel for each of them. When I was somewhere
around 5 or 6 Shirley & I were living with them on a farm,
not for sure where, but the people who owned the farm were the
Wetz. It was around Seguin somewhere. After dinner, while Oma was
doing dishes, Opa, shirley and I would sit on the back steps, no
porch, and he would sing and teach us songs in german. He knew a
lot about the stars, and would point them out to us.Every
Saturday Oma 
would
make bread and coffee cake in the morning, then we would go to
town for grocerys and then go to a german dance hall that
evening. Opa always danced with us, and to this day I love to
dance. Everyone took their children along in those days, so there
were always a lot of kids to play with. They loved to dance, and
did it well. I can still see them on the dance floor waltzing.
Oma was a happy person, always whistling or singing. Laughed at
everything. I remember her standing with her hands in dishwater,
and Opa coming up behind her and patting her on the fanny, she
would swat at him and giggle like a girl. Thishappened quite
often. She was a wonderful cook. She made the best smothered
short ribs and chicken I have every tasted. Have tried to make
same, and just can't do it. Even in her later years after Opa
died, she still cooked every Sunday, hoping someone would come by
for dinner. This story is the funniest thing Del has ever heard,
I guess, as he isi still laughing. Opa would pour chili powder in
the radiator of his model A, I thought it was to keep if from
freezing, Del is still laughing, I guess I don't know why he did
it, but he did. This is my favorite memory. When they were in
their mid to late sixties. Oma was as round as she was tall, Opa
bought her a Birthday present. It was a size 12 hot pink dress
with beaded trim. She never wore it of course, but she still had
it when she died. That was how he saw her. Theirs was a true love
story. Thelma
