So glad you knew, and I knew, to enjoy it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00088119765077193302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-4963377355443207852010-07-20T08:16:47.353-04:002010-07-20T08:16:47.353-04:00Lilian: We need to coordinate our summer schedule...Lilian: We need to coordinate our summer schedules better so that next time I'm here when you drive through.<br /><br />Jennifer: I assume that the "sweet sounds that called the young sailors" is supposed to refer to the mythological Sirens.

Sigh. In any case, I'm so happy you got together.
