Hey Cuz! Maybe I should make meatloaf, so you and Mike could have one of these sandwiches at our house!!!! Just kidding, though your parents, and I, are use to it by now :o) I haven't seen Mike put PB on his sandwich for lunch lately. I wonder if it's because he takes lunch with the folks in the lunchroom now ;o) LOL!!!!!!! Well, better start cooking for my mother-in-law's birthday on Sunday. We are going to their place, because my father-in-law's back is really bad. I'm making spaghetti, meatballs and hot and sweet sausage, and a salad for all the family except my father-in-law, as he doesn't like spaghetti or pizza, anything like that, at all. I'm making a steak for him, and maybe I'll make Mike some of the potatoes he likes, and take some of them up for my father-in-law, along with some string beans. Then I was thinking of making a Red Velvet Cake, since an ice cream cake, which I was going to make her, had they come down here, wouldn't stay frozen on the ride to their house. Red Velvet Cake is one of her favorites, if I am remembering correctly from something we attended. OR, if I find out she and I are the only ones who like that kind, which is possible correct, then I'll make a cake I made up when I was a kid, if I can remember how to make the goopy stuff in it. It was so good people were smelling it as I walked home from my job at the Glenside Housing Authority, and asking for a piece of it. By the time I got home, there was only ONE piece left for Mom to try, and she loved it. We'll see if I can remember how to make it again. Anyway, I want to make it as little work as possible for everyone there to clean up, too, so I'm taking most of it in crock-pots, then I can keep them plugged in and brng them home, and clean them up here. And, Rick, did you know that you and my dad shared the same birth "Month and Day", of course not year :o) Lynn

I paid a visit to that house on Memory Lane that I mentioned some time ago; and there was my mother, ensconced in her favorite chair, holding forth on the topics of the day. As memory closed around me, I heard her say, "Ehr set un sei aingny naus ruppa". It's been a long time since I heard that expression. It translates into "He should pull at his own nose"; i. e. mind his own business. Perhaps some of you are familiar with it. Sometimes she would say, "Ehr set schwetza" which means, "He should talk" which, of course, was intended to mean that he shouldn't talk. Sometimes she said, "Ich het sell unnich sei naus reivva sella" which meant "I should have rubbed that under his nose" which meant "I should have cast that up to him". Then there was an exclamation which she used quite a lot. I've heard it a thousand times and I never asked her what it meant. It sounded like "Grunder Welt" which doesn't translate. Gründer Welt means founder's world and could be a reference to God's world.. Grund der Welt means reason (of/for) the world; but I'm not sure what that means. If I could open the door and walk into that house on Memory Lane, instead of just looking through the window; I would ask my mother what she meant when she said, "Grunder Welt". Do you know?

I walked over to the steps of the church, thinking I would get there before a whole lot of people did, but already it was so full of perfumes that I had to turn around quickly and get back to our porch. So, I just watched as people paraded to the church. There were a few hundred who attended, and it was a treMENdous amount of folks who went to the cemetery. I was talking to a neighbor who lives around the corner and up a block, and she said she didn't think all the cars would be able to make it into the cemetery where Ashley was being buried!!! We had to move our cars off the street, to allow for parking for the funeral, and I got a call from my neighbor asking me if we had any spaces left in our parking lot in the back of our property. They had filled up both parking lots for the church, and completely around the block and farther. There was a limo, which everyone thought brought Kenny Rogers to the funeral. But, I told them that a group of girls came in it. I have no idea why they came in a limo, maybe it was something to do with an inside thing with Ashley, when they would get together, I don't know. Anyway, the reason people thought it might be Kenny Rogers, is because Ashley's dad was Kenny Roger's long time Road Manager, and Ashley had appeared on Kenny's show a few times. There were people even double parked, because they couldn't find ANY parking anywhere nearby. The limo had to keep double parking, and moving the whole time they were inside the church, which was well over an hour and a half. This neighbor said that the bartender should have flagged the girls, that it's all his fault, but I disagreed with her. Yes, the bartender is partly to blame if they were sloshing around like drunken fools, but they were regulars there, and he probably knew their limit, or what he thought was their limit. I said it's about time people take personal responsibility for their actions, because this kind of thing will continue, as long as people play the blame-the-other-guy game all the time. In other words it's everyone else's fault but my own for my actions. It's really sad, but it's so true in so many cases. They are still investigating the accident, and asking for witnesses to come forward. Toxicology tests were taken, but no results yet. I asked someone when they will be in, and they said it could take up to 2 weeks, because it's not like a breathalizer test, which they couldn't get because everyone was unconscious at the time of the accident. Oh, and their ages ranged from 21 to 23. I did get to talk to a few people. Ashley's sister-in-law, one of my kids, from when they were in marching band at the high school, and who is a very close friend of Lindsey's, came down to talk to me before she went back into the church to get something to eat, after the burial. It was so GREAT to see her again. She looked very tired, because last night the closed casket veiwing at the funeral home went for three and a half hours_she said it was a NON-STOP line of people. They just kept coming and coming. After I told her I wanted to make it to the funeral at the church, her eyes got really big, and her mouth dropped open. She remembered about my allergies (before it was discovered that it was Chemical Sensitivity) from all the years I helped out at the high school with all sorts of things, and how they use to make sure to get fake flowers for me, and she said that it definitely wouldn't have been good for me to go to the viewing, nor the funeral, because everyone REALly had the fumes piled on and it was getting to the point that it bothered people who usually aren't bothered by it. She said she could see that I was swollen just from standing on my front porch that whole time, that she was sure they would all understand, and she would give them my condolenses. So, that made me feel a little better. I just missed Ashley's dad and step-mom, as they were driving by our house. I was a couple seconds too late to catch them, but that's okay, because they looked like they were ! mentally, and physically drained, too. Well, that's about as much as I can remember right now, about today. Just so sad. Thanks for asking, it helped me write about it. :o) Lynn John & Joyce wrote: thanks lynn and mike---it's good to be back, and to catch up; as i type this, a long caravan of motor bikes are heading west on route 30, just below our back yard. did you attend the funerals of victims in the columbia crash? ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PADUTCH-LIFE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Happy Birthday Rick! Sorry I missed the festivities yesterday. It sounds as if you had a very good day. Only two things on your birthday I'm glad I missed. It was the Peanut Butter, cheese, and meatloaf sandwich for lunch. And then the Dr. Pepper you had for supper. You ruined a perfectly good pizza with that drink!! :) My kids tease me all the time. I am the only one in the family who doesn't care for Dr. Pepper. :) One question...what kind of cheese did you use on your sandwich?? I've never met a cheese I didn't like. If your weather was anything like our weather today(Thurs), you had a great day for a birthday!! May you have many many more.

John & Joyce-- Re the motorcycles you heard roaring past your house this morning--there's a good chance they were part of "America's Ride"--a group of bikers who were riding to pay their respects at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville. It would make sense that they were on Route 30 if that is where they were headed.? They are going next to Washington to visit the Pentagon.? They are a group of people who all lost someone on September 11. WJAC News just did a story on them. --Debra ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Any day that ends with chocolate cake is a very good day, indeed!? I'm glad you enjoyed the day and got to do things you wanted to do. But peanut butter, cheese and meatloaf all in one sandwich?? That's just wrong, Rick.? So, so wrong.? :o) But happy birthday anyway! And BTW--speaking of Notre Dame, I have been hearing persistent rumors that Penn State vs. Notre Dame tickets are going for as much as three grand EACH!?
