Started the morning late with cooking and getting wrapping done for the early gift exchange on Gilbert Street. I had the option of having Christmas dinner at my house but declined because of lack of preparation and the need to move the entire troop over prior to naps. A perfect example of two right answers and being flexible with either one. The gift exchange was pleasant and and unhurried. Kelly finally acquiesced to Aaron's pleas for an early opening of the WII. It was "for the kids" he said.....
We had an intense meeting on the administration of the Dennis Trust. This meeting also proceeded very well, with complete transparency and, at times, laughter. We remembered the sacrifices that Howard and Dorothy made for this situation to take place and thanked God that the provision seems to have come at exactly the right time. Our main prayer is for wisdom and peace in the distribution.
Naps were enjoyed by all and the WII proved to be good entertainment as no football was passively watched. The entire entourage converged on Puerta Vallerta for a good-bye dinner. It was the best dining out experience we have had as an entire group. Londt Co hit the road at 8:15pm and the Young Londt's plus Kristen retired to Royal Oak with the DVD of Wizard of Oz. We went to Gilbert Street to be acclaimed to the WII in a more relaxed atmosphere. It was fun and we stayed until after bedtime.
Sad note to learn of the death of Dean Ford, fellow grad student in Technology. He passed on November 24th. 51 years old and diagnosed for less than 2 months. Calling and funeral on Sunday. I had intentions of seeing him next week. He had a loving church family. My hope is that they were not too busy with Thanksgiving to be with him.
