Stop in for a cup of coffee

I usually check in and out of this thread while I'm cruising other sites. This morning I'm looking into Attractions and Itinerary in Vienna Austria. Sue and I are going for two weeks in Sept. I lived there 50 yrs ago as a kid. I'm pumped !!
 
I bet you are Mitch :color: I have never been out of the states but I bet I have been threw 3/4 of them :D You have a great day sir :cheers: cheers :coffee2:
 
The Sandy cleanup is ongoing, one more day. It is lucky I have a dirt floor basement. On a good note My bud dropped off the other two 15" tires mounted yesterday. I kind of needed that.
 
Austria ! That sounds great Mitch.

Yeah I'm pumped. My Dad was the Airborne Radio on the Wien Queen, The Embassy Gooney Bird at the disposal of the American Ambassador. That was from 1962 through 1967.Lived in the outskirts of the city near the vineyards and the Vienna Woods. I was 11 yrs old when we came back Stateside.
 
Must have been interesting during the early days of the cold war.

Hew he was also a photographer and they had a dark room in the Embassy. We used to see the Soviets sitting in cars outside our house ( reading Newspapers ). Dad used to make a lot of trips around Austria by car with other guys from the Embassy.
 
I could imagine the stories of what he saw there. I was in at the end of it and was in the Navy and we used to get followed all the time. The soviets used to try to pick up the trash from the ship when we threw it over and we left many surprises for them! LOL
 

Mornin'. I'm trying to get used to a BiPap Machine. Anyone else here have sleep apnea? This thing has helped me actually get normal sleep.
 
Good morning everyone, wow, Austria, that's where "Silent Night" was written, I'd love to go there.

Lunch and visit went great. The folks seem to be adjusting. Dad loves the nursing home staff and he's cooperative. He likes using a walker which I wasn't sure if he would.

He gets confused about which house he lived in when and who he was married to at the time, or which end of the shrimp you eat, but he remembers his youth just fine. I've heard the stories many times but never get tired of them and actually learned something new about my Grandpa which brought a tear to my eye.
