Chocolate chip cookie day would be every day for me, if I could eat them. I love Louie Armstrong. He was quite a performer.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I think any two women can be sisters. At the dinner yesterday was a young woman who calls my husband's cousin "Mom". They are not related at all; but she's been welcomed into the family ,along with her fiance, and shares all the family functions. She and the cousin's daughter used to be roommates and got to know the whole family.

@LindaOHio Thank you, I will tell you stories one day. I feel a sister bond already with you. I have a plaque that says, Friends are the Family we Choose.
