My cards from Steve and Craig:

CHAOS:





CAN'T HAVE ANYONE OVER SYNDROME

Not much happening...

Ben and Craig last night...they were planning a night out on the town...but it ended short...part of Ben's muffler system fell off...then the cop stopped him...gave him a verbal warning...after all...it just happened and the part was in the trunk...
Craig...just over a year ago...taken with his camera...which he lost the cord to download from the camera...but his new laptop can download from the memory card directly...
and these 2 photos of the flood were on there from last year, too...
it was still raining in these...it got much higher after the rain stopped...
we are going through totes from the front bedroom today...just rented a storage space this morning from Becky...so hopefully we can get this done in a month or two...

Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. - Susan B. Anthony

31 years ago on this very night...



I was spending the night with Mary at her house...and her mom made me a wonderful birthday breakfast in the morning. We stayed up and listened to music and talked about so much. It was my 16th birthday...and we were so young...and then she took me home about noon, because Mary got her license first and she had a Plymouth duster. The miles we put on that car! She gave me a pair of white horse shoe earrings. I still have them. Mary was into horses.
