Danita had wonderful news. She got all of the documents and approvals required too close Bud’s estate. She was ecstatic. It looks realistic that every last “i” will be dotted before we leave for our cruise.

We just got back from spending a weekend with the Reeds. The drive down and back were tiring but uneventful. We started our visit with a half-day family church retreat. We played a simple but fun game. We went to a multiplex that shows classic Christmas movies this time of year and saw “Elf”. It holds up well. It was a lot of fun. Here is a pic of Danita, Jul, and the kids solving a puzzle for their Advent Calendar.
