Janet Busboom

On their 25th wedding anniversary, Oscar and Janet had a big bash in their building on their other lot on Green Lake, Wisconsin...just a short walk from their Dome Home. Many people from the "old neighborhood" (Gifford/Flatville, Illinois community) showed up and a grand time was had by all...a great picnic meal was served and many laughs and stories were heard for hours.....and some even into the next day!

Check out their anniversary cake with the "troll" Bride and Groom...you can tell Dad got a kick out of it!
He was so good at smiling....Janet, too!

This photo was taken during the annual Worldwide Busboom Reunion, summer 2009.
We lodged at Busboom Castle and enjoyed visiting with other Busbooms from all over the world who met at Gifford, Illinois July 10 and 11th.
Afterwards, we had our own private "Busboom Reunion" at the castle...a good time was had by all.

We were getting ready to go to cousin Anita (Schluter) & Larry Wilson's wedding reception in Kankakee when this photo was taken in the fall of 2007. Dad was wearing his favorite blue blazer and that beige wool cap that looked so nice on him.

Oma and Opa Busboom came to see their first grandchild, Bryan (2 months), who was born October 5, 1983. At first, Opa was hesitant to hold him, said he was afraid he'd break him! Opa's first remark was "he's like me when I was born!" I also remember him saying "Now I've seen everything. Life in a complete circle."

Bryan and Tyler visit Opa and Oma at the dome home with Brenda and Mark in Fall 2008.
