  Notes	Shortly after I was married, we spent a few days with Aunt Til, around Christmastime; we we all impressed with her tree that recycled snow. Several years later in the middle of a major kitchen renovation, I recalled her stories of her renovation. I've been to many funerals in my day, but Aunt Til's had the best music!! 01jan2009 John Moore
