Hi Nancy,

I went to public school but had good music teachers who taught a lot of
the old songs in the vocal music sessions. We also had work books that
taught us how to read music.

I presume your family was pretty much all in the same area then. At the
time of my parent's 50th, one sister and I were in AZ, the other one
about 90 minutes south of my parents. One brother was (and is) across
the street; the other was in Albany. He's now in Florida and we're in NC
but all the other siblings are where they were before. Both sisters are
not interested in planning, contributing financing, etc so it's usually
me and my brothers doing 90% of the work (mostly via e mail). Mom and
Dad have their input too but prefer the straight open house format.

 NB> idea.  We did it at church, so there'd be room for everybody.  We had
 NB> refreshments downstairs in the Fellowship Hall.  When they had their
 NB> 60th, Daddy wasn't in very good health so all we did was have the
 NB> reception for them at church in the Fellowship Hall.

We did it in the Legion Hall (VFW) both times; easier for older people
to get to. Also, my parents gave up attending church years ago over an
issue that was presented in the wrong manner and setting.

 NB> I have recipes both ways...  ;)

We all have ones we use as a basic one where we jump off in all
tangents. I usually make it pretty straightforward the first time but
jump off into all directions in the future. Some, tho, I will use only
as a suggestion, even the first time I make it.
