Oh I just spotted this thread! Thank you all so much!

David, yes, Elvis DID make an appearance......in the form of my cousin's hubby who ended up with an Elvis wig and did what can only be described as a FABULOUS impersonation to include hip rolls, quivering lip, and the splits at one point.....it was hilarious!!!! I loved it!!!!!
Jen, my Dad choked me up - he doesn't talk about my Mum much (long, guilt-filled story on his part) so when he started losing it, I was struggling to keep him on track without losing the plot myself. I think that was when my fake lashes gave up the fight to stay on!!!
