What a wonderful initiation into the family:) I love that the Aunts were present as well.

It was a lovely happy occasion and you described it so it felt like sitting in the room with you. Genie

Thanks Michael - wonderful story, felt like I was right there. Jim Beam was my mom's drink too, so it brought back many great memories for me.
