Derek called for permission a few minutes ago. We are very happy for them--it is a 4 year relationship and both are managers for HEB (a major grocery chain and owner of Central Market) and foodies and winos!! Jane asked Derek if he liked Allison (remember "Shenandoah") he said yes and that he loved her. Jane told him liking was more important--he agreed! You can survive problems more easily if you like each other too. I think they are ready (she is 30)and we are happy!! I treasure this for all of us--we have been together long enough, but we are not too old, for a daughter of our thread, still young, to marry!!!
