Yet another update, Joyce has the flu (thanks mom and dad) and so will not be able to join us. Apparently Lori's bringing dental floss and tooth brushes. Actually we have no idea what Lori is bringing. We're glad she's coming. The birthdays have come and gone so no need for singing. C, J ----- Forwarded message from "Jim L.
