I love this---enough to be informative (especially prices of things) without too much detail. Verbosity is not something HH was cursed with! Intriguing is the note about how the Ethiopian restaurant has changed over the years. And how Kate, Will and the rest have grown up!

I'm counting on Mary and Serena (and everyone else) to help me out with the spelling -- especially of names with which I may not be familiar.
