the whole MIL thing...ironically, it is H's father (remarried to 4th w..."fourth time's the charm"...) who wrote and called. Go figure.
My mil isn't coming to d18's graduation b/c she has dogs that are getting old and you "never know how long they'll be around"--referring to the dogs, btw. BUT then I find myself saying, "WTH do I want HER to be here for? " So, now that we know what we know -- we have to be careful what we wish for... Haven't talked directly to h about this. Don't know how necessary it is since mil is already so distant and now, her 2nd of 3 grandchildren is off to college... increasingly, I'm grateful she's not in the picture. If somehow, mil "visits" us (ahhh, another advantage of Alaska is that mil visiting is about a 1/1000000 likelihood) well then I will likely be very busy....getting a 2nd job, or something... j-
