 RH>>> difference, but these dolls were big in the early to mid
 RH>>> 80s--Rachel got hers in 82, Deborah in 84, both at age 4.
 NB>>> He was 4 in 78, so 4-6 years older than your girls...
 RH>> So probably wouldn't have been into the scented dolls, had he been
 RH>> a girl, anyway. He'd have been more into Barbie then.
 NB>> Possibly, hard to tell... faddish things weren't a high priority in
 NB>> this household...  ;)

 RH> They were only in our household courtesy of grandparents. We couldn't
 RH> afford the toy de' jure either.

Wouldn't have come from my parents, or my grands, either... and
Richard's mom was more practical...  ;)
 
 NB>>> And he's pretty good at scrambling to get some sort of job when
 NB>>> needed to keep himself in food and shelter... done that since he
 NB>>> went away to college...  :)  I don't worry about him.  :)
 RH>> You did a good job of raising him then.
 NB>> We think we did pretty well, usually...  ;)

 RH> And, he sounds like he appreciates his upbringing, tho, like most
 RH> kids, probably wasn't as appreciative as he was going thru it. Our
 RH> girls have let us know how much they appreciate how we raised them,
 RH> especially after they became parents.

Pretty much so... he hasn't had any kids yet, though... we'll see if
that makes any difference...  ;)

 RH>>> How many years now? We'll reach 40 next year.
 NB>>> It'll be 42 coming up...  :)
 RH>> So, just a couple of years ahead of us.
 NB>> Yup.

 RH> We've usually kept celebrations low key, not sure what we'll do this
 RH> year. Visit grandkids maybe?

Ours have always been low-key generally... at most, going out to eat
somewhere a little special... For our 25th, we met up with two other
couples from our church that also had their 25th that year, within a
month of ours, and went down to Charlotte Beach, rode the carousel,
walked the beach, and then ate supper at Schaller's.  No big parties,
no cruises or other trips... ;)  And so far, no grandkids to visit...
you've got a lead on us there...  ;)

 RH>> Also, harder to sing on a fuller stomach. I'd rather have less to
 RH>> eat, than more, before a practice if I didn't have the time to let
 RH>> it settle.
 NB>> So the doughnuts were being offered before practice, not after....?

 RH> They were available when we walked in, and offered again after
 RH> practice. 

So no inclination at the beginning, from just having had supper, and no
inclination at the end of practice from having had the leftover donuts
from the move...  ;)
