HAPPY 4th OF JULY 07/04/00

Subj: Happy 4th of July!
Date: 7/4/00 6:02:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time

I am going to keep this short. It is hot and muggy and I am just not up to much.

We had a WONDERFUL time last night. It was fun watching how well John & Deno hit it off and a special treat to visit with Deno and Carol. The early evening had an interesting ebb and flow - Deno would be in the kitchen, giving me a chance to gab with Carol, then Carol would be out in the kitchen, giving me a chance to talk with Deno.

I enjoyed listening to Elsa and Justine and Justine's house guest, Lindsay Reuter, having a high old time out in the kitchen, laughing and singing show tunes, of all things. I am still smiling remembering hearing Justine, Lindsay and Elsa singing When You Walk Through a Storm* and all three dissolving into laughter at the end because none of them could hit the high notes.

The three of us agree - it was one of the best parties we have ever had.

Enough writing. Time for - O Joy! – a shower!

Happy 4th - Kay


* soloists, joined by a choir, sang this at the close of Mom's 10/16/01 memorial celebration; she'd requested the song and soloists (Richard & Nora) over two years before the actual event; I am forever glad we had fun planning the celebration long before it was a necessity elm 07/04/10
