 RH>>> They also used to stop at "Bread Alone" sometimes
 RH>> Have to see if we can get you a sample.
 NB>> Would be nice, but not necessary...  :)

 RH> They do a lot of business in NYC, have to spread the word about them
 RH> in the western part of the state too. (G)
 
Any chance they'd actually expand out this way...?  :)
 
 NB>> Kids will gripe just for the sake of griping...  (G)  If Rob griped
 NB>> about my bread, I don't remember it... :)   I also bought store
 NB>> breads, like raisin, cracked wheat, rye/pumpernickle, etc...  :)

 RH> We got some spelt bread today at the farmer's market. It uses baking
 RH> powder as a leavening.

That's different.  :)
 
 NB>> My parents hadn't thought there would be any sort of celebration, I
 NB>> think they may have had something small at home, but they were going
 NB>> to be on the road for their actual anniversary, planning to visit
 NB>> Lesesne at that point, and we just took advantage of it.  It was
 NB>> still pretty low-key, except for the element of surprise.  They had
 NB>> the younger kids with them, but I and the next younger wouldn't have
 NB>> been there... the surprise included the two of us, plus Mommy's
 NB>> parents... nobody else.  It was enough, though...  :)

 RH> Always good to pull off a surprise like that.

It was.  Mommy was overwhelmed...  :)  Since they were heading for there
anyway, we didn't have to tell the littles anything about it, so it was
even easier to keep the surprise a surprise... just had to make the
arrangements for Jessie and Grandma and Grampa to get there...  :)
 
 RH>> We (parents, youngest sister & I) left the next day to take
 RH>> some of my things to NC before the wedding (7 weeks later). For both
 RH>> their 50th and 60th, we had a community open house and dinner for
 RH>> relatives/close friends. Doubt there will be a 65th, now not even sure
 RH>> about a 64th.
 NB>> You never know...  For my parents' 50th, we and they planned a fairly
 NB>> elaborate affair at church, complete with some musical offerings from
 NB>> the family, from M&D right down to the grandchildren, for the benefit
 NB>> of the friends and family that came...  For their 60th we also had

 RH> My parents celebrated 63 last year. They had the reception for their
 RH> 50th and 60th in the Legion Hall for a number of reasons, part of it
 RH> being that it was handicap accessable.

That's a consideration... for others, even if not for them...
fortunately our church is sufficiently handicap accessible that it
worked out for that too...  :) 
 
 NB>> something at church, though not so elaborate...  They didn't quite
 NB>> make it to their 61st... Mommy had Daddy's memorial service on what
 NB>> would have been that... he went home at the beginning of that week.

 RH> Probably hard on her but an appropriate date.
 
It was her choice...  I think she wanted to hold onto him even in that
small fashion for just a little longer...  The original discussion had
suggested that the memorial service could have been done quite a bit
later, but she decided she wanted to do it then.  :)
 
ttyl       neb 

... When in doubt...No, don't do that either.
