[edit]Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your appreciation! My story is about a composer and choir conductor, listen to his Lamento. - My story on 13 October was about a Bach cantata. As this place works, it's on the Main page now because of the date (but Bach wrote it for the 20th Sunday, not the Tuesday after the 21st Sunday after Trinity). I sort of like it because today is the birth date of my grandfather who loved and grew dahlias like those pictured. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Well, my (maternal) grandfather -- who was of Swiss-German descent -- made his own dill pickles. His entire back yard was a cucumber patch. -- Sca (talk) 13:46, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Was he in the club?? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
— No, but he was in Kiwanis, Rotary, and the Big Frog Small Pond Club. -- Sca (talk) 15:00, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
- (ec) Interesting. My (maternal) grandparents - where I spent most summer holidays from age 5 to 10 - had a large property (former barracks): the front garden was dominated by a broad band of dahlias and other flowers, framing rows of cucumbers and dill (!), lettuce, herbs, radishes, carrots ..., behind the house fruit trees with strawberries and potatoes underneath, and to the side berries, asparagus and a fenced area for chicken and a goat. Paradise. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:59, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Relatives claimed Grandpa's secret pickle ingredient was cigarette ashes. -- Sca (talk) 12:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
