Hi Pat, I'm so glad to hear that Deb did have a nice day. I know that they aren't often enough tho. I have lost both of my parents. Right now, tho, my sister and I are going through old pictures before my parents were married Some of these came from cousins and we had never seen them. So we are having copies made and preparing albums for ourselves as well as each of our kids. We have spent lots of time choosing which ones to copy. Every time we get together and look at a picture, we remember something we had heard our parents talk about, so are making notes. I think this will be a lifetime job. But, it is so much fun. Give Deb my love, Love ya, Elsie At 10:55 PM 5/26/01 -0700, you wrote: >Debs had a really great day today! Although she did have a burp this >evening while I was working on her computer.
