Liz, does Elissa have any idea what she would like to do yet? It must have
been a real pleasure to volunteer at her school and doing what you love.
Hope our kids make better career choices than we did. I never thought past
becoming a nurse or a teacher and choose nursing because my best friend (we
are still in touch) was going to train at a certain hospital and I liked
the hat. (I am shaking my head here) We have always encouraged Cathy to do
something she loves even if she is poor. If this means becoming an expert
in Islamic textiles, so be it.
Have you taped any memoirs? I am always after people to tape their
relatives stories. They are fascinating to listen to.
Thanks again for the herb stew, we would try this out but missing a lot of
the ingredients. God bless, Jeanne
