Dear Jan,
I stopped by 2 SuperBowl parties - met friends and parents of Jenni
(the senior who moved in with me Sat - until she graduates from h.s. She's
such a nice girl; she likes to organize and clean AND she likes to cook and
eat the foods I need to be eating -- so double great. We made veg soup in
the crockpot while we were out partying, and now we're going to have yummy
and nutritious food tomorrow lunch and tomorrow night. She's just what I
needed.
Sarah and Vas had a great trip to MD meeting with the caterer, the
people at Wade's Point Inn, etc. Aunt Becky and her friend, Bev (retired
and devoted to Sarah all her life) are making the favors and are going up
for a visit in March. They'll drop the favors off at Wade's Point so when
we fly up for the wedding, they'll already be in the storage closet. Also,
they are hot to see Sarah and Vas' home and visit with Little Bits again.
Vas is bringing his parents over (their visa is good for 30 days at a
time for 3-4 years) and Natalie's closest friend. Her parents are thrilled
for her to get to come to America for 2+ weeks. They'll arrive the weekend
Natty begins her spring vacation. Bob and Amy are inviting them to D.C. If
the cherry trees are not in bloom, at least all those great gardens around
the White House and Jefferson Memorial will be - and they haven't seen all
the sites yet even though they did visit there last summer. Bob went to
school with Vas in Moscow and Vas' parents visited his parents in Moscow
over Christmas. Bob's real name is something that begins like Vov---but I
didn't catch the whole thing. Amy is a red-headed atty originally from
Birmingham. They have a daughter and son - and that's who gave Natty all
those lovely clothes which I seemed up the side over Christmas -- beautiful
things. Vinka (that's what it sounded like to me) is l2 and chubbier than
Natty -- but who isn't?
Look at the Cannon deed for l765 info below -- does this mean that SC
has a Berkeley Co also? Also, note that someone says the Staten Island
Cannons are NOT the same as the Wm Cannon group in SC. I'm reading - no
connections yet, but we're always out there scanning the freeways.
Have a great week. Maybe little Tor is back and settled down from
visiting his father. That's a tough situation. Your family is so
beautiful. I have their photo on my bulletin board here at my desk.
Jane
