as they threw their hands UP in the air.....

all HELL was breaking loose down below....(in a good way!)
the news had come that afternoon....
a small boy on a bike had come to tell them.....
the man in the blue uniform had ordered him to do so......

the child had a bag of pretzels dangling from his jacket pocket....
undoubtedly, the officer had BRIBED him just a bit !

and the music was LOUD outside the apartment complex....
as they ushered in the dawn of a new day....

interesting to note.....
that the boy on the bike.....
was a passenger on the
VERY SAME TRAIN
 that 'our' wilhemina's parents had ridden in on.....
from german town...
just that morning !!!

strange and coincidental happenings......
outside the city limits......

and the dog carried a bone the size of a SMALL CAR....
