Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>>>> They also used to stop at "Bread Alone" sometimes
 NB>  RH>>> Have to see if we can get you a sample.
 NB>  NB>>> Would be nice, but not necessary...  :)
 NB>  RH>> They do a lot of business in NYC, have to spread the word about
 NB> them  RH>> in the western part of the state too. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Any chance they'd actually expand out this way...?  :)

 RH> If there's enough demand, they would. Start creating the demand, see
 RH> what happens. (G)

 NB> Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't...  I know of a number of
 NB> places that would love to have a Wegmans, even here in NYS, and
 NB> there's not any plans I know of to move that way...

Don't know what it would take to get BA to try a western NY outlet but
might mention it to them next time we're in the store. It's possible
they've considered (or are considering) one; I suspect they'd want to
keep within a 2-3 hour's drive of the bakery.

 NB> about it, so  NB>> it was even easier to keep the surprise a
 NB> surprise... just had to make  NB>> the arrangements for Jessie and
 NB> Grandma and Grampa to get there...  :)

 RH> Easier to do when something is sort of pre planned and not many others
 RH> have to adapt. We set the date for celebrating my parents celebrations
 RH> several months in advance & let out of town folks know so they could
 RH> plan accordingly. Had a cake done for the 50th but not the 60th.

 NB> Quite.  The 50th and the 60th, especially the first, got a lot of
 NB> advance notice and planning... after all, it wasn't to be a surprise,
 NB> anyway...  ;)  A couple of my sisters make cakes
 NB> (semi-)professionally, so they did the cakes for the celebrations.. I
 NB> think one did one, and
 NB> the other the other, but maybe one of them did both...  :)

We hired someone to do the cakes; I've done some cake decorating but not
to that level. Also didn't have a good place to put one together and was
busy enough, with other aspects of the gathering. Did get a chance to
talk to a few people at the 50th but fewer at the 60th as we were kept
busy at the house for most of it.


 RH> I don't know if the church is now handicap accessible on all levels
 RH> now; it's the one that hosts the senior's week day meals so I presume
 RH> so. I grew up & was married in that church but my parents stopped
 RH> attending quite a while ago.

 NB> Probably at least accessible on the level where the meals are
 NB> hosted...

I'm not sure; the meals would be hosted in the fellowship hall which is
in the basement. Last I knew, it only had stairs going down to it.

 do/did your parents attend somewhere else, then...?

No, they didn't/don't go anywhere else. The pastor of another church has
befriended them tho, and he will do final services for them.


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

 RH> Sounds logical for her to think in those terms. A date of both joy and
 RH> a bit of grief, but the good memories will outweigh the sad ones in the
 RH> long run.

 NB> Exactly.

And how is she doing now?
