Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> You were probably exhausted after that day...  ;)

 RH> That whole week, with both my parents and Steve's, graduation, the
 RH> party, etc, was busy. (Steve was in Korea at the time.) The next year,
 RH> about a month later, Rachel got married and then the following May,
 RH> Deborah graduated & we had the extended family (plus other family
 RH> members) for a third year in a row. May/June 1999 was more relaxing.
 RH> (G)

 NB> I guess...!!  :)  That was a pretty hectic string of busy springs
 NB> there... ;)

Hadn't thought Rachel would get married the year after she graduated
from high school; it just worked out that way. But, better that year
than the next, when Deborah graduated. I think a wedding and graduation
the same year would have been (do-able but) a bit too much activity.

 NB>  RH>> Yes, it's just the waiting for the shoe to drop sort of thing
 NB> tho.  RH>> Meanwhile, just carrying on with life as is normal around
 NB> here.
 NB>  NB>> As one just has to do.  :)

 RH> I'm starting to pack up the house now; that'll keep me busy.

 NB> Gives you something else to keep your mind on... :)

Yes, especially now that the big sewing project is (almost) done. We've
got a pile of boxes around the house, waiting to be filled or filled.
Getting to the microwave is a challenge now. (G)

 RH> As if an excuse is needed to buy chocolate.

 NB> Well... true...  (G)

Not in my book.

 NB>  NB>> And both are happier...  ;)

 RH> Yes, we are. We both ordered Caesar salad with our supper last night,
 RH> a nice change from a garden salad.

 NB> Was that for your going out for Steve's birthday...?   BTW, Happy
 NB> Birthday to Steve...  ;)

It was, we had an ok dinner but better one last night. Two different
Italian places--the first one, the marinara sauce tasted like it hadn't
hardly been cooked. Second place, found out the owner was from the same
region of Italy Steve's mom's family came from--the sauce tasted very
similar to what she makes (and taught me to make).

Catch you later,
