(:-)  All in all, I think he gave it a passing mark.  We did not die, or get diarrhea!!  Yeah....Jane even ate two bowls.

He doesn't know this, but I felt he was sorta my "charge" in some ways growing up, or at least like Lucy watching over (and bossing) Linus, I tried to make a good difference in his life.  He will have plenty to say about that.  I was so happy to see him.  We browsed through old family stuff together, something we have needed to do for ages.  We laughed.  We ate.  We slept!!!  Oh, and played games with Hannah and Jane. I did not know Rich was a person who gave such attention to minute detail ... I guess he inherited that trait too, but it was recessive in his younger years.  He can have ALL mine, it's been a bain as I've grown up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d26XsmmheFM/SWj3R4sOoNI/AAAAAAAAAA4/Jp-B4-zVZIk/s1600-h/Rich+%26+Jane+1-09+002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_d26XsmmheFM/SWj3R4sOoNI/AAAAAAAAAA4/Jp-B4-zVZIk/s320/Rich+%26+Jane+1-09+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289749648994377938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;These two found each other in 2003 and have been having fun since.
