 NB>> As I said, much smaller...  ;)   Much less chance to be reusing

 RH> We reused one name (my first, Deborah's middle). Rachel used her dad

It's good to carry on tradition and family names... With just a few it
doesn't get quite so confusing...  ;)  Our son got his first initial and
middle name from Richard and Richard's grandfather, whose middle name
was also passed down from his father's first name...  His first name
happened to be one from my family and also from Richard's mother's
family... but not specifically picked because of that...  :)

Something like that.  ;)  His generation is spreading out more, so there
are some of his cousins' kids he's not met, but that's the way it
goes... :)
 
 RH>>>> grandmother's silver
 RH>>> I think we'll probably let it all go to one or the other. I'm not

 NB>>> If there were enough place settings it might make splitting it

 NB>>> would make it not so useable... :)
 RH>> There's probably a dozen place settings, not enough for us to split

 NB>> So eventually you'll just have to figure out who wants it more...  :)

 RH> Yes, at some point we will. Hopefully later, but probably sooner than
 RH> we'd like.

I take it that it's still at your parents' house, then...? 
 
 RH>>> I still like to keep paper copies of a number of them. (G)
 NB>>> Easier to use, after all... ;)
 RH>> And if they get splatted with cooking grease or sauce or whatever,
 RH>> they can be tossed and a new copy printed.
 NB>> That, too...  :)

 RH> Helps, having it clean enough to read. (G)

True.  :)
 
 RH>> I usually clip a recipe to the range hood; it's easy to follow
 RH>> as I'm working and I don't have to find an easily accessable
 RH>> place for the cook book.
 NB>> Seems sensible...  :)  I'm rarely following a recipe that
 NB>> closely... ;)

 RH> Some I do, especially if it's something I've never made before. Others
 RH> I do, just to keep track of what goes into it. Still others I ignore
 RH> any print version of and wing it. (G)

I'm usually in the second or third category... or somewhere in
between...  ;)
