Jim Henson-Imagination Unlimited Exhibit at COSI

We went to COSI- Center of Science and Industry in Downtown Columbus Ohio and saw the exhibit Jim Henson  Imagination Unlimited 

I couldn’t  believe The Muppet Show started in 1976,  Where does the time go? I remembered my son Mark had Ernie bedsheets in 1978.

THE MAN, THE MUPPETS: JIM HENSON, HIS LEGENDARY CREATIONS STAR IN COSI EXHIBIT

Uncle Matty Sings the Christmas Blues

Everyone is happy that Matthew is visiting from Zagreb.  He’s either playing the guitar or the piano, telling big brother-little brother stories to his nephews as they fall off to sleep or trying to beat Mark’s Father-in-Law Donald at 360XBox College Football. He helps wash the dishes and keeps us laughing and entertained.

Here are some Matthew moments for the blog followers in Croatia, wondering why he isn’t on the blog!

I hope to get a photo with him before he leaves.  We’ll see.  It feels good to have everyone together, even for a short time.

And Matthew wasn’t keen on being the main feature of the blog.  So here is one more photo of the grandchildren on Christmas Eve to share the post.
