   Hi Dave,   
      
      
    RH> Something, somewhere along the line, I've lost a day or two of messages

    SD> You and Stephen are welcome to create accounts on my BBS for checking

    SD> the account active.   
      
    RH> Might have to consider it; this has happened for several weeks now. No   
    RH> Fido the beginning of the week but usually restored by Wednesday or so.   
      
    DD> I wondered what had happened to you. Is the board you guys point off   
    DD> of having problems? Or is it your interweb hook up? I was using Sursum   
    DD> Corda as one of my "regular" BBSes but it started being up and down   
    DD> like a (oops, this is still a family echo, Dave). Anyway, I've

   I'm not sure what the cause is and which system to blame. We may have to   
   contact Marc Lewis and let him know of my problems but that will wait   
   for another day, when I'm a bit more awake.   
      
    RH> Not a big deal this week as we're working on pulling everything in   
    RH> place to celebrate our 50th anniversary on Saturday. All sorts of odds   
    RH> and ends to do like figuring amounts of food/drink and ordering/buying,   
    RH> number of tables to set up in the Legion building main room, buying   
    RH> decorations, and so on. Couldn't get a reservation for dinner afterward   
    RH> at the restaurant we wanted so will be trying another steakhouse in the   
    RH> Raleigh area.   
      
    DD> I can't get my mind wrapped around doing anything for 50 years. At the   
    DD> same time I just realised liast week that I've been at my current job   
    DD> for 20 years.   
      
   As with anything else, just taking things one day at a time adds up   
   faster than you realise. Steve's parents celebrated their 25th   
   anniversary 6 months before we got married; my folks hit their 25 about   
   6 weeks before our wedding. My parents made it to 62 before Mom passed;   
   my in laws celebrated 72 before we lost Dad.   
      
    DD> I don't suppose your chilren and their children) will make it for the   
    DD> feswtivities.   
      
   Older daughter, her husband and their 2 teen age daughters flew in   
   Friday night, leaving early Sunday morning to go back to Utah. So good   
   to see them, found out our SIL's parent's 50th will be in about 6 months   
   so we'll see them then also.   
      
   We had a lot of food left over so made a good sized donation to the   
   local fire department, sent a lot home with one family so mom didn't   
   have to cook, more went with one of Steve's radio buddies and his wife   
   who were a big help in setting up and tearing down. We still brought   
   some home. (G)
