CHRISTMAS EVE NOTES
CHRISTMAS EVE AT DAD'S
Lila and Tim arrived at Dad's on Saturday, December 23, and are all set to enjoy Christmas Eve--the usual big celebration. They will return to Bismarck on Christmas Day. Lila said on the phone this afternoon that she was feeling pretty good and enjoying her visit to the ranch.
Dad says he is all set for the big event and looking forward to seeing everybody. All of Marilyn's family are coming, and all of the Ron and Mavis Berry part of the clan will be there except Will and Trista--who are in Argentina. (Will said in an e-mail that he would try to post some photos and messages to the Blog at some point in their trip.)
A BIRTHDAY AND A NEW HOUSE
Mollie is celebrating her 10th birthday today, and enjoyed a slumber party with three of her friends on Friday evening. She told us she enjoyed herself at lot and is looking forward to Christmas!
Dione and Saul have just purchased another house in the same neighborhood of Yellow Springs, OH, as their current house. The new place is bigger and nicer, and has a large lot that backs up against a farm that has a conservation designation. They will not have to worry about any new housing development next door.
DARA AND MADELYN IN TUCSON
Dara and Madelyn arrived in Tucson for a four-day visit with us over Christmas. We have been having a great time catching up on all the news, opening very nice presents, and generally celebrating the holiday!
DEATH OF DICK ROSA
Unhappily, Dione and Maureen's step-father, Dick Rosa, died of cancer two days ago in Polson, MT, at age 79. He seemed in quite good health until the last couple of months. Maureen was in Polson for the past week helping her mother out, and was there when Dick died. Mat and Maureen returned to Helena yesterday for Christmas with friends and Mat's mother.
Happy Holidays,
Bill and Marie
