Our Celebration continues unabated. The only problem has been my lack of time to sit down and evaluate and report the events. All went well. The children had a blast the whole time, as did the young adults. The organization for the meals and the various details all worked as planned, so I am pleased and happy with our 50Th. Now the clan, which had been gathering and growing, is beginning to shrink. At a time like that, I have several options in response. The overwhelming feeling for me is one of gratitude, that Ken and I were able to bring together our friends and relatives from all over North America, and have them leave with wonderful memories. The relationships formed and solidified during this Celebration, with a little nurturing, will last a whole life through. I belive that this is the reason we planned this Celebration. And it was a success.
David and Suzanne and the four girls left for Texas today. The girls must start school. Suzanne provided a huge amount of her energy organizing the activities with the children. For example, Sunday evening after dinner, all the females of the species went over to the Baby Bog for an evening of painting nails and toes. The adults and young adults did the painting and the little girls did the decoration Then, all the girls under 12 years of age stayed for a sleepover. So, eight little girls had a memory to cherish. And Randy and Gaby took over four dozen donute for breakfast the next morning.
Every night, David and Andrew made a fire down by the water, so the men and the younger adults all joined them for the rest of the evening. In addition, games were going on in every room. For the first time ever, Gary was beated at Risk. These have been red letter days indeed. And I am grateful.
