Joey - stay cool - 100 so early in the day is rough.    Hope you can stay indoors with the AC going.  I know how hard the high temps are on  those of us with breathing problems.      <br /><br />I guess Jackie is busy getting settled at the Inn.    I haven&#39;t seen her logged on.    <br /><br />Rose - glad you are happy with your counters.   <br /><br />Gotta get a few things done - I&#39;m running out of time.    Round 2 went great - Ash had quite a bit to say and even TJ took to the mike to tell a knock-knock joke that made absolutely no sense.   We&#39;ll be back there at 5:30 but so far, so good.    Hopefully the kids will nap for awhile and be ready for tonight.<br /><br />Deb - my Mom passed away 4 years ago.   When she was with us she loved to have her whole extended family around her and when we were there she would always say &quot;Isn&#39;t this nice.&quot;   After she passed, she left very specific instructions about what possessions should go to which people so on her first birthday after her passing we had a &quot;Isn&#39;t this nice&quot; party to distribute all her possessions.   We found a freezer full of cookie dough she had made up so we baked those cookies and shared some memories.   Her &quot;Isn&#39;t this nice&quot; party has now become a yearly tradition, in fact I have to get the invitations out next week.   What I&#39;m saying is that everyone grieves in their own way.   Do whatever is right for you.   Believe me, there were some raised eyebrows when we celebrated Mom&#39;s b&#39;day that year but it was what my brothers and I needed to do.   When my niece got married last month she wore my mothers garter which she wore at her wedding in 1942.  My Mom gave it to my daughter on her wedding day and Deb passed it on to Laura who will pass it on to the next bride in the family.  So little things mean a lot to those left behind.  <br /><br />Eggs are done so my break is over.    Be back later on.  <br /><br />
