I'm reading the Summer 2009 issue of Best Health Magazine and came across these Grill Charms for barbecuing your meat, using the same principle as wine charms. There is also an article which says that marinating meat in wine or beer reduces the carcinogens from grilling by 90%. Another good idea.
L had a follow-up appointment for her wisdom teeth and the girl explained how to properly syringe the bottom sockets. You actually have to squirt into the bottom sockets a couple of times to prevent food infection. We didn't know there were actual sockets. The top ones clean themselves via gravity.
One of my sisters has suggested we all get together for annual family reunions. I have 3 sisters and a brother and we are spread out all over North America so it sounds like a wonderful idea in principle. Some of the kids are close to university age and it seems like a way to keep everyone connected. I found a few articles online to help with planning. This one is interesting when it advises: 'everyone involved should try to be flexible and keep things pleasant. Don't talk about religion, politics, and child rearing,...Not if you expect everybody to have a good time, anyway.'
Let's hope this reunion can become a reality. None of us are getting any younger.

Hey Christine
We had a family reunion with hubby's side of the family and it was so much fun! I hope it is able to happen :o)
My family does a big reunion every other year. We've had as many as four generations together! It's a total blast. But, believe me, I wouldn't want to be the one doing the coordinating! THAT'S a big job. I prefer to bring my casserole and show up happy :-)
SoccerMom and Joanna, the first challenge seems to be picking a location that suits everyone. Good to know that your reunions went so well.
I'm planning a reunion in July as well. I'm doing a pot luck and hope everything goes OK.
