Yes, I understand.  My dad worked at a Catholic Hospital for years and so we
always had sisters come to visit at our house... Needless to say we were
Catholic as well  Later, after one of those sisters, a nurse, left the order
she still came and visited our family.

>>> Lucky woman, your sister.

>> Yes .. She still hangs all over me at family gatherings :)

> That must be fun 

(laugh)  Well she just had a birthday last week and when I wished her a happy
birthday, she was more than exuberant in her icq messages to me Lol  I don't
mind, she turned out to be good kid. 

Take care,
Janis
