That is HER choice - NOT MINE! TRUST ME!
The good news is my boss is putting her in his rental house - which is adjacent to the company shop - so he can keep an eye on things

and my thanks to all for their warm wishes. I had 12+ teenagers descend in a rush (she opted for a small private gathering), demolish 20+ lbs of steak, consume 3 cases of soda and disappear in a literal cloud of dust (or smoke - it is safe to assume none of them drive vehicles with warranties )

I guess the evening was success!!
