THE FAMILY REUNION is over! Participants are settling back into their normal routines (with the exception of the one (teenager) who is leaving this very day for a three-week visit to India!)
......
A neighbor has agreed to change the locks at the old home place.
......
However, one of us is going back to real life a whole year older! I forgot to tell you, Dear Reader, that we had a birthday celebration while at our "Genes of a Feather Flock Together" gathering over the weekend!


There's nothing like a birthday to prompt a seafood dinner out, and a late-night mini-gala in a motel lobby with cheesecake and brownies from Wal-mart!




Happy Birthday, David! May your thirty-first year be the best one yet!
