Thanks!)<BR/><BR/>First, you were wedding photographer extradinaire! Thank you. Thank you. For two grueling days.<BR/><BR/>Then, as if that gift weren't enough, you baked fourteen crawfish or strimp quiches for those seafood-deprived TX folk! <BR/><BR/>Yes, people, you read correctly. Fourteen! How does one say thank you for sharing those beautiful pies with family (lucky me) and friends alike?<BR/><BR/>One of my boys' best friends, a Korean-Am engineer, text-messaged when he returned to Austin that he had snagged two entire "Angie" quiches!<BR/><BR/>No way to repay you. Thank you. Love you. So happy your family came. Hey, who knew your hubby is such a great dancer? And sons and daughter, too? <BR/><BR/>Love, love,<BR/>MAMary Ann Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364359328174892626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751877036536774816.post-75516884871386597372008-03-31T20:16:00.000-04:002008-03-31T20:16:00.000-04:00Family Matters Most - would have been my title! Wh...Family Matters Most - would have been my title! When I used to beat myself up about lost opportunities for advancement or missed deadlines for work, I would remind myself why I worked each day to begin with - for family. Being entrenched in a career tends to make one focus on the hollow rewards of the material; to forget what really matters and why one chooses to work in the first place – i.e. to sustain that which is of real importance. For me, that would be family.<BR/>Thank God for occasions such as the one you so beautifully described! Opportunities that make one stop and smell the roses of life – that reel one in from the never-never land of the daily grind into that which is, in fact, the crux of all being – family and friends –the true rewards of life. <BR/>Now that I am older, I don't even have to remind myself. Isn't it wonderful that practice makes perfect, that older is wiser, that life is good!<BR/><BR/>YDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751877036536774816.post-10598591298809483352008-03-31T19:54:00.000-04:002008-03-31T19:54:00.000-04:00Angie,It is a scary thought that the kids are actu...Angie,<BR/>It is a scary thought that the kids are actually growing into adults in spite of our best efforts.
