on a lighter note ...


We got our Christmas tree up as you see, but not only is Christmas upon us, but also the end of the semester. Last night was Talbot's baccalaureate dinner. Mark had to dress up in his peacock uniform he calls it (doctoral robe) for the ceremony. We ate dinner at a table with one of my Talbot student wives, her graduating husband and his family - they are all from Columbia! He is headed back to Columbia as one of the rare ones with higher religious education to help teach.

I had the joy of being a co-leader of one of the Talbot student wives' groups this semester. Besides Columbia, the wives in our group were from Jordon, England, S.Korea and America. I enjoyed each one of them - they were a blessing to me!

Today is graduation and then it's grading stacks of papers for Mark, parties for the boys and be-lated shopping for me.

Hi Bonnie - almost one week out, it's starting to feel like Christmas! And we are indeed ending the year with the best gifts of all - you, Dad and Michael cancer free, and the children doing well. You each have been wonderful inspiration in your courage and grace. Michael sends thanks for the nice get well wishes, Sudoku puzzles, and of course the Versailles-Ukranian chocolates.

Love, Gen
