Paulie - I bought a whole bunch of huge sweet strawberries yesterday been pigging out on them
Just Me/Mi - Give me a couple of weeks before we start. I'm racing to get everything done for son #2's graduation party. Around here your picture display is almost as important as the food you make. I've been going over pictures from the last 18 years trying to pick out the best ones.
Paulie - sounds wonderful Meeha
Paulie - acm, is this your first time here?
Paulie - I know the first time I ever came to one of these chats, I did nopt know hwo to send message by pressing udate

Paulie - It is ahrd to get adjusted to script rolling up
Just Me/Mi - Fresh strawberries - yum
Paulie - think these were local ones
Paulie - yummy
Just Me/Mi - It's hard to think ahead enough so that by the time you are done typing your message makes sense in the conversation that took place while you were typing.

Paulie - It will be I know
Paulie - Well, it is time for the late chat now
Just Me/Mi - Not everyone has a party. Those who do have everything from a few close friends to as many as a wedding. We are having about 200 people, we have a lot of relatives plus my son has a lot of close friends. He played football and basketball, was in the band, and was homecoming king, so we expect a lot of people will come
Paulie - where are u having it?
Just Me/Mi - We rented the same hall that we have for son#1. It has 3 rules - no smoking, no dringing, no hanging things on the walls. Everything is on ground level, and I don't have to clean.
Paulie - o
Just Me/Mi - no dringing = no drinking I'm drinking milk tonight, honest!
Paulie - means alcoholic I think
Just Me/Mi - right
Paulie - Is there a dance or a movie or what just food?
Just Me/Mi - Food - lots of it! People talk, sometimes play cards, and look at the display of pictures, trophies, scrapbooks, etc. that you display.
Paulie - o

Just Me/Mi - We haven't eaten it home for the last 4 weekends. YUM YUM. It has been fun visiting with our friends
Paulie - neato
Just Me/Mi - Most people just put money in a card and give it to the grad
Paulie - o
Paulie - I am glad you can read my typing
Just Me/Mi - Where does the money tree grow? I'd like to stand under it and wait for the "leaves" to fall. lol
Just Me/Mi - Where are the others? Did we scare them away? Maybe we should start a school meeting without them.
Paulie - a money tree is plasticv with clips it is usually at refreshment table and people clip dollar bilsl to it while someone keeps eye on it that people don't take money from it! lol It does not grow If it did, I would give one to every teacher I know
