This must be the busiest nights of the year for the parents of young children, where the box with "some assemble required" takes two hours to put the toy together before the gift could be placed under the Christmas tree. Home is the best place to be when the children are young, but we spent many Christmas Eve nights at Dave and Irene's home, helping them put together their children's toys, long before our children were born. One night we even used the toboggan that was to be given to Wendy as a gift on Christmas morning. And another time when David and Andrew were 6 and 7 it took us until two o'clock in the morning to pump up a jumper, after borrowing pumps from two neighbors.
Now we are in Mexico, and tonight we ate a lovely dinner outside sitting on the Marina. It is quiet and pleasant and delicious. After, we listened to the band of West Point, also the Four Canadian Tenors on TV. There is no question, that we are getting old!!
