We celebrated Dad & Jeanie's 42nd Anniversary in style at the Red Clay Restaurant in downtown Rocky Mount. What a lovely restaurant! and we had great service. I thoroughly enjoyed coconut curry chicken with cranberry chutney (doesn't it sound wonderful) and could tell the rest of the family enjoyed their choices as well. Dad looked good and got around pretty well. There were balloons, a bride/groom centerpiece and a rather primitively decorated anniversary cake! Sorry everyone couldn't be there - we'll try another family evening in March.
Ben & I have booked our trip to Santa Fe. We leave on April 1 out of Greensboro and return on April 7th. It should be lovely there and we are so looking forward to seeing Emily. Any special requests??
Appreciated hearing from Jennie that she and the "3" boys are doing well. Would love to have you post a picture of Caleb in his alligator slippers!
Looking forward to a possible wintry weather event tonight/tomorrow. One good snow is all I want, then I'm ready for Spring! Love. D.

Happy Valentine's Day
Let me be the first to wish all the clan HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
It's hard to believe it's already mid-February, 2008! Why, we're already 1/6th of the way through the year.
We had a good time Superbowl Sunday. Got to meet the fellow Katie has been dating - Tracy. He's a really nice guy. We were all disappointed in the result...how could the Patriots lose!? Oh, well, as I kept insisting all season, it's only a game!
Nevertheless, I was very sorry to have missed the family get-together on Sunday. Thanks for organizing the Christmas gift exchange (Mary Fowler was instrumental I hear - lol).
We feel lucky not to have been affected by the severe winds of yesterday. Friends and co-workers have experienced damage to houses, and power outages. No one affected by the brush/electrical fires, but one of the gals at the office could see the fire at Hollins "too close for comfort" from her back deck. Hope none of you had any damage or problems.
Finally, here's a little toast to share with your Valentine:
May we never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten.
