 RH>> That whole week, with both my parents and Steve's, graduation, the
 RH>> party, etc, was busy. (Steve was in Korea at the time.) The next year,
 RH>> about a month later, Rachel got married and then the following May,
 RH>> Deborah graduated & we had the extended family (plus other family
 RH>> members) for a third year in a row. May/June 1999 was more relaxing.
 NB>> That was a pretty hectic string of busy springs there... ;)

 RH> Hadn't thought Rachel would get married the year after she graduated
 RH> from high school; it just worked out that way. But, better that year
 RH> than the next, when Deborah graduated. I think a wedding and
 RH> graduation the same year would have been (do-able but) a bit too much
 RH> activity. 

You just never know with kids... ;)  But it was nice to get things
spaced out some...  Having both a wedding and a graduation in the same
year could well have been just a bit too much.  ;)   Of course, there
are the kids that get married the same year as they graduate, either
high school or college...  :)

 RH>> I'm starting to pack up the house now; that'll keep me busy.
 NB>> Gives you something else to keep your mind on... :)

 RH> Yes, especially now that the big sewing project is (almost) done.
 RH> We've got a pile of boxes around the house, waiting to be filled or
 RH> filled. Getting to the microwave is a challenge now. (G)

Good thing the sewing project is almost done, I bet that room is getting
pretty inaccessible by now, too...  ;)  It can be a challenge keeping
aisles free to the important things like the microwave, stove, fridge,
bed, table... especially as more boxes are filled, but not yet ready (or
advisable) to be taken out to storage...  ;)

 RH>> Yes, we are. We both ordered Caesar salad with our supper last night,
 RH>> a nice change from a garden salad.
 NB>> Was that for your going out for Steve's birthday...?   BTW, Happy
 NB>> Birthday to Steve...  ;)

 RH> It was, we had an ok dinner but better one last night. Two different
 RH> Italian places--the first one, the marinara sauce tasted like it
 RH> hadn't hardly been cooked. Second place, found out the owner was from
 RH> the same region of Italy Steve's mom's family came from--the sauce
 RH> tasted very similar to what she makes (and taught me to make).

Sounds like the second place moved higher up the list than the first
place you went..   ;)

... "Another plate of steamers all around!" Tom clamored.
