Hi Nancy,

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

 RH> We reused one name (my first, Deborah's middle). Rachel used her dad
 RH> and FIL's name for their son, name of one of David's great aunt's for
 RH> oldest daughter's first name. Deborah used my dad's first name as
 RH> middle name for her younger son so a few are being carried on.

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

My mom & dad used a lot of family names. Bill was named for his
grandfathers but it was also the name of Dad's older brother. I think
Marta was the only one not to get a family name. It is interesting to
see how they carry (or not) down generations.

 NB> to college  NB>> and then away to Arizona.  He didn't even meet many
 NB> of the cousins  NB>> until he finally came back east for Liz's
 NB> wedding, they having been  NB>> born in the meantime...  :)

 RH> But, he met them, finally. They probably just thought he was another
 RH> grown up, nobody they could play with. (G)

 NB> Something like that.  ;)  His generation is spreading out more, so
 NB> there are some of his cousins' kids he's not met, but that's the way
 NB> it goes... :)

We understand. Steve's dad was one of 11 so Steve has lots of cousins
(mostly beyond first) that he doesn't even know.

 NB>  RH>>>> grandmother's silver
 NB>  RH>> There's probably a dozen place settings, not enough for us to
 NB> split  RH>> and have enough for the family.
 NB>  NB>> So eventually you'll just have to figure out who wants it
 NB> more...  :)

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

 NB> I take it that it's still at your parents' house, then...?

Yes, and will stay there for a while yet.

 NB>  RH>> And if they get splatted with cooking grease or sauce or
 NB> whatever,  RH>> they can be tossed and a new copy printed.
 NB>  NB>> That, too...  :)

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

 NB> True.  :)

That way you don't mess up the amounts of key ingredients. (G)


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

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

I don't fit in any one specific category either; I think that comes from
years of cooking experience.
