Thanks. smiley - smiley

I'm sure to ave strange dreams about this for a while. Anyway, I"m getting together with the rest of the family this Saturday, for a corned beef and cabbage dinner. Sort of an early St Patrick's Day feast, though we're only a little bit Irish.

We're a little bit of a lot of nationalities. smiley - shrug My ancestors *probably* left their home countries of their own accord. There was one pair of lovers, one from Ireland and the other from Scotland, who were welcome in neither country, so they came to the U.S. The Pennsylvania Deutsche ancestors might have been Huguenots who sought asylum in Germany and then went to, well, Pennsylvania.

I've just started a new conversation at the Post office main page. Dmitri hasn't read any conversations there since Oct. 28, so I hope he'll eventually find it.

The emails have been worked out. I hope to submit a wacky poem called "Sleeping Nutcracker lake," asuming that I ever get around to finishing it..smiley - blush

I had lunch at my brother's house yesterday. We talked about Dad.

In one of my emails to my brother, I said that Dad never met a spruce tree he didn't like. My brother said that one of the things Dad liked so much about my sister's cottage in New Hampshire was that the spruces there were in the right climate for setting seedlings.

We had gotten so used to having Dad around that we had begun to think of him as someone who would be around indefinitely. Now we know there was a definite end waiting for him.
