Lest you think I can't spell LIST, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, long ago, (well at least a few years ago), one of us (I won't say who) helped her dad make a list of all that had to be done (AKA a to-do list). At the top, was the title, "PUNCH LITS" (AKA a to-do list). Since then, it has been a family joke that we need to make a Punch LITS (not list). Right now, I actually have several of them as I have had to separate them into specific ones to break them down and make them more manageable. It's not as scary as it is to look at one GIGANTIC one. Here is my PUNCH LITS for graduation.......my Top 40....
1.Find, decide and deliver pictures to Sarah to use in DVD for beginning of ceremony (after going through massive scrapbooks and either taking them out gently or going through 10 years of negatives looking for the right one so I can make copies)
2. Make picture DVD with music for graduation table
