Piano Recital

At Pleasant View Retirement Community

Sunday, April 10

 

   

Piano teacher Rachel Siegrist welcoming those in the audience.

 

 

 

 

Jana was the first student to play.

 

 

She did an excellent job of playing El Matador.

 

 

 

 

Acknowledging the applause with a curtsey.

 

 

Jana’s friend Renee Siegrist (granddaughter of the teacher) was the last of the twenty-four students.

 

 

She did an excellent job of playing Hungary Rapsodie Op. 410.

 

 

It was a very enjoyable afternoon.

 

 

 

 

Rachel asked each of her students to stand for a final applause.

 

 

 

 

Our family

This was the last time we got to see Kristen’s mom, Betty, (right – wearing black), as she died sometime during the night one day later.

 

 

After getting to Jere & Kristen’s for supper, I took a closeup of Jana’s wrist corsage.

 

 

There was also a bouquet of roses on the table – a gift from Jere to Kristen.

 

 

And then there were Kristen’s beautiful amaryllis.

 

 

These started with one bulb many years ago.

 

 

If you live nearby and would like a bulb, contact Kristen – or let me know. She would like to get rid of a few.

 

 

 

 

Josh was anxious to show us his antler mount from last fall. He just got it a few days ago.

 

 

Jana celebrated her birthday at a mountain cabin with friends, so we didn’t get to see her balloons.

 

 

Ian wanted to make sure we knew that Jana is not the only talented person in the family.
