Well, it is Sunday, May 22, 2011.   We are here at Sam and Julia Bernards’ home in Bentonville, AK, and present we have Grandma and Grandpa Tarbet—Glen Tarbet and Ann Tarbet, and Julia is here, Brad Sr., and Kiki, who is Kristin Alina Bernards, and myself, Jami Bernards are here.  We’ve had a wonderful weekend.  We gathered to celebrate James’ graduation—Kiki’s graduating from college, James graduating from high school, and today they are celebrating their seminary graduation.  James got to speak in Sacrament Meeting and sing and ummm . . .
Anyway, Grandma and Grandpa traveled here from Utah and we’re just really privileged to be able to be with them, and we wanted to record a little bit for them. 
Grandpa, I’m going to ask you to hold this, OK?  And then, we can just ask you some questions, if you’ll be sweet and just answer questions as we go along.  Are you good with that?

[singing]  Oh, the boson’s mate was very sedate
Yet fond of amusement too.
He’s play hopscotch with the starboard watch
While the captain tickled the crew.
And the gunner we had was apparently mad
For he sat on the after rai-ai-ail
As he fired salutes with the captain’s boots
In the teeth of the booming gale.
[chorus] [JB joints]
                Then blow ye winds, heigh ho!
                A’sailing I will go.
                I’ll sail no more on England’s shores
                So let the music play–ay–ay!
                I’m off on the morning train.
                I’ll cross the raging main.
                I’m off to my  love with a boxing glove
                Ten thousand miles away.

To start over, I do that, huh?
JB2
Yes.  That’s right.  Very good.
GT
Let’s see.  I was talking about moving the house from right behind Godfreys’ to the west end of our property, and then, the dictation took about a twelve-hour lapse, so I’m restarting now, in the afternoon of the 23rd of May, 2011, at 2:27pm Arkansas time. 
We resided in the house right behind Godfreys’ until we had it rolled down onto our property, and one major thing that happened while we were still living in the house right behind Godfreys’ was the neighbors two houses away — the Adamsons’ house caught fire and burned down.  We had some of the Adamson children come and live in our house with us.  That didn’t last for very long.  I don’t know why.

Scott, would you say twenty is what we paid for it?  What would you say?  $15
ST
It’s probably 15-16.
JT
Yeah.  It think it is.  14-something. 14.75 or something.
ST
Anyway, we were talking about dance bands.
JT
And six dollars on holidays.
