Good afternoon,
Pam, good to hear you got some rain.  I am hoping we get some tomorrow.  Every little bit helps.  My baby sister is leading the charge on the memory book.  I just got roped in, as it is nice to have a co-conspirator.  I am trying not to step on her toes.  I gave our brother a tiny kick in the butt to respond to her emails.  I didn't manage to contact my niece and the more I think about it, she really is not good at keeping secrets.  I plan to head home next weekend.  It will be easy.  Mom goes to bed before I do and will understand I have to check on my internet stuff before bed as I will bring my MIFI with me.  Then I can get names and addresses and phone numbers out of her rolodex to my hearts content.  Do you think the hairdresser Diane is under D?  or H for haircut?  Or C? for cut hair.  Good thing I have some recent experience with indexing.  I do hope she isn't under her last name as that is what we don't know!  I might have to go through the whole thing.  I might have to anyway to make sure we haven't missed anyone.  Hmnnn, they might not all be in there.  My contingency plan is to ask her for her address book so I can get addresses to do her Christmas address labels for her.  A bit early for that, but I can tell her that I like to get it done early.  I am laughing.  Mom was telling me she now knows how my sister, who lives close, gets her Christmas cards out so early, she starts them in Sept.  Actually she used that as an excuse to get a phone number/address from Mom for a friend of hers who recently moved.  She visits but doesn't stay long and no excuse not to be visiting and disappear with Mom's rolodex.   I think it is up to me.  ....... we can be a really sneaky bunch for a good cause!
