LOL, my mom used to work at the Lawrence Welk retirement home right off the 15. I brought a hot date to California for a wedding once and she insisted we go to the Lawrence Welk museum there. How could you say no to moms? The girls first time to California and we spend our first morning at the museum, followed by a terrible Chinese restaurant in Escondido ( 5 bucks, all you can eat) for lunch. I made it up to her, she loved La Jolla and the gas lamp district in SD.
My MomMom (how the fuck do you even write that??) used to watch Lawrence Welk religiously, along side one of her sons, my Uncle Donnie. Uncle Donnie was also a big fan of Ponderosa back in the day. Good memories.
