Hi Shawn,


 RH> They usually had class on their date but got the American holiday
 RH> off. (G)

 SH> Laugh, that's fair. :)

Don't know what they thought but it worked. We had enough Canadians that
we had an informal hockey team. School had an enrollment of about 1200
with maybe 20 Canadians (give or take) in any year.


 RH> Yes, he turns 21 today. Doesn't seem that long ago that he was born.

 SH> It goes so fast.

 RH> we went to my sister's for Thanksgiving dinner. When Robert was born
 RH> on the 29th, her older son (who's birthday is Nov. 30) commented that
 RH> he just missed sharing immortality by one day. That kid turs 40
 RH> tomorrow.

 SH> I missed my grandmother's birthday by a day as well.  She was Oct 12.

I shared a birthday with a cousin. She was quite a bit older than me and
lived out in California so I didn't see her often enough, never shared a
birthday celebration.


 RH> for soup once we take more meat from them. The turkey soup is a
 RH> tradition in my family, usually done with the Christmas turkey, that
 RH> our older daughter has carried on with her family.

 SH> Nice.  I have the carcass in the freezer as it will take a while to
 SH> get through the left overs.  I'll make the soup in a week or two.

I'm going to cook down the carcass tomorrow, probably put it on in the
morning and do the bone removal in early afternoon. We've got a pre
Christmas gathering tomorrow night so will have to finish the soup
making Tuesday or Wednesday (after I do a bit of grocery shopping). The
ham will probably wait until later in the week; found a package of
lentils on the shelf so they will go into soup with the ham bone.


 RH> It got to be a joke, how they always did it and never let any of us 3
 RH> girls have a part.

 SH> Laugh.  IT was a brother thing.

Apparantly so. Older brother moved to Florida in 2007, passed away in
January, 2015 so the last games were probably in 2006.
