 JK> Yep hahaha ...Well it's like when NYState decided that we'd not paid
 JK> taxes long long ago.. maybe the year was '85 0r something like that. 
 JK> I did have all the paperwork to get them off us.. but who would have
 JK> thought you'd need something from that far back in 2009!!   I was sure
 JK> to point that one out to her  

Worst part of that, they SAY that you only have to keep them for three
years... It really is better to just save things indefinitely, since you
really don't know if you'll really need it to prove something like that.

 JK> hehe.. I think about opening an antique store with all these dishes I
 JK> have been collecting.. (I've added a few more since the picnic )..
 JK> but I don't know if I could part with some of them Lol 

Collections are like children... there's always some reason why one
doesn't want to part with each one of them, no matter how many there
are.  Growing up as the oldest of eight kids, I remember the occasional
discussion around the dinner table (usually sparked by some one outside
the family with some comment about how there were too many of us), about
which one of us didn't need to be there...    Even as kids, we all
agreed that even the ones we fought the most with, we'd never just get
rid of... we were a FAMILY, after all...  :)  Someone would propose one
name, and everyone else would shoot it down... then on the next, and so
on...  The discussions could really get hilarious sometimes...  ;)

 > The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...   Hey, maybe your daughter
 > is worried that she's going to end up being a packrat, too...  ;)

 JK> hahahahaha.. I'll have to tell her that one!!! too funny :)

When you do, let me know her reaction...  

 JK> Hope you had a great ThanksGiving!  Ron and I had a really nice quiet
 JK> day yesterday - Today, Friday, the kids came up.. The kittens hadn't

Ours was quiet, also.  We'd been invited to my sister's (about 45
minutes away, in Bloomfield), but had already pretty much decided to
just spend it with our son going out for dim sum (when we were there for
a Sunday dinner, there was a sign on the door " We open Thanksgiving
10:30-3:00 " which gave us ideas ).  Richard ended up taking a nap
that he wasn't wakeable from in time, so I just went down by myself to
meet RJ and his new girlfriend Kelly at the restaurant...  I was just as
glad I'd not planned to drive further away, since Richard would probably
have fallen asleep anyway...  ;)

 JK> seen my daughter's boys in a long time, so it was crazy for the
 JK> kitties at first .. but by the end of the day, they were all lounging
 JK> all over the kids and having such fun playing with them :) 

Kids playing with kids...  :)
