You are very patient to organize all of that. Nice! My sister is the one in our family who has been doing the family tree.<br /><br />I was class of 1968 (Fridley--suburb of Mpls) and we have had reunions every five years, believe it or not. I helped a couple of times tracking down classmates. I only missed one reunion until the 35th--so I've missed the last two. We've had a few people who have died already, too. <br /><br />Beautiful rose, BTW. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-30909578510112951462010-07-13T22:25:04.397-05:002010-07-13T22:25:04.397-05:00Good luck with the projects.

And I like your mother-in-law planning the meal for her funeral. That is almost funny. I have my funeral program planned in my head - - the songs I want and maybe the speakers. I wish they would tell me what they are going to say that day. I might want to hear it while I'm still here! Generally they only say good stuff about the deceased so why not share the compliments when they are alive?!!!!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-78485113352098425012010-07-13T14:08:32.299-05:002010-07-13T14:08:32.299-05:00Far Guy's mom sounds like she knew her way aro...Far Guy's mom sounds like she knew her way around a social gathering of her peers.
