It is wonderful to hear such great news----You have every right to be proud of him and the job you have done raising him. I wish you and your son the best of everythig.. Please keep us posted so we can all share in his success. I agree with what Morz8 said----- Florence---

A man. It was a matter of subject focus, or rather the lack thereof. She (the writer) began talking about everyone she mentioned, instead of continuing the subject's life story. Example: (name changes of course) "Taylor Doe was born to John and Jane Doe. She birthed a son, Jack, and lived in the Miama, Florida area until relocating to Michigan." She was talking about his mother, Jane Doe, birthed a son named Jack. Weird way to introduce the decedent's sibling, but the biggest problem is I had no idea she suddenly began talking about his mother. She even went on to tell what his mother did for a living. She did that a few times. Later on after mentioning the marriage, she said they had no children, but he fathered a daughter. Then, she began talking about the wife. I was totally confused. I woke her at around 7. After establishing it was about a man, I just deleted all she wrote about other people in favor of focusing on him. When listing the survivors, she stipulated his wife, then wife's name, then five other names without stipulating the relationships of these five other people. Knowing they can't all be his wife LOL, I asked who they are to him. She said they are his children. Another alarm since she already established he only fathered one daughter. I guess they are her children, his stepchildren. I also had to clarify some spellings since deciphering her handwriting was rather difficult. Thanx for asking.

Oh Glenda..I make those pecan chewies (that's what we call them...) all the time.. My kids love them. Without the pecans they are called blondies. They are good too. But not as good as the pecan chewies. Too bad...They are missing out. You need to adopt a family...so if your son doesn't show you could enjoy some comany anyway... I know you love to cook for others. You should attend some small little church...They usually have a starving pastor and family that love to be invited over for Sunday dinners....lol patti

Boxie, Funny you should say that...my kitchen guy says my kitchen is cursed- and so he doesn't feel quite so bad about all the granite problems... Started with OTR MW that took almost exactly a year dealing with the store I bought it from before it could be installed- first it didn't work (had it stored in garage for several months before I tried it on a whim)- long long story on how it took forever to get serviced- got fixed and when we were going to install realized there weren't any brackets- that took months and sooo many emails and phone calls to get satisfaction- then parts were on back order... Then new windows that were also ordered May 08, 2007, didn't all finally get installed until November! We went the whole summer with plastic sheeting for my kitchen windows! Just phoned Electrolux today to inquire as to where my replacement grates for our brand new gas stove are (been waiting since January)- enamel is chipping off...supposedly on truck from Quebec to Ontario, and they should be Purolated here in BC either this week or next... Just got a bill in the mail yesterday from roofing company that came three times to fix leak- over $1000 later to tell us chimney is causing the problem, so I have a lovely blue tarp over my chimney and leak still not fixed! Arghhh! Oh, you wanted to know the name of the granite? Butterfly Blue- it's actually quite pretty- we prefer the colouring of batch #2. They're calling the newer rock Butterfly Blue New.
