Hi Mary,

What a coincidence! I had my eight year anniversary on Jan 22 of this year.
My sons were in 3rd and 6th grade at the time. My youngest doesn't remember
me walking either.

I was extremely involved with my sons' schools and activities. Now on son is
a Soph. in college and the other is in high school so they don't want me
meddling in their stuff any more.

In fact I went to the same movie theater that my son went to when he was
going with his friends. He was upset because he thought I was "chaperoning"
him. I said I was not even going to the same movie. I think he was
chaperoning us. :-)



Have a great day!

Monica
