Update on Lila
Lila had Thanksgiving with Karen, Tracy, and Mickey (and his son) at their house. She said she really enjoyed it! They are all doing well.
The dialysis is giving her trouble, requiring extra time to get rid of all the fluid. Unfortunately, her vision has gotten so bad she can't read well enough to finish the "memoirs" that we sent her a few weeks ago. She needs a "reader" to help her out!
Dad, Mavis, and Ron were in Bismarck a week ago and took her to Lunch at the Red Lobster Restaurant. She enjoys getting out and about as much as possible.
Cindy just returned from a shopping trip to Minneapolis to buy things for their house--getting it ready for the Christmas Holidays. They celebrated Thanksgiving at home, with Tim as one of the guests!
Dione, Saul and Mollie
Dione, Saul, and Mollie are well settled in their new house, and liking it a lot. They hosted one of Mollie's good friends and her family for Thanksgiving. Dione has finished her student teaching and is really enjoying her job teaching gifted students. She has to take some additional classes to secure her license as a special education teacher for the gifted.
Saul says he is not sure what will happen to Antioch College - expected to close this year because of insufficient students and resources. Fortunately, the Antioch McGregor graduate program where he teaches is doing fine. They have a new building and plenty of students. Saul is a department chair and enjoys the teaching and administration.
Mollie is thriving. She aces nearly all her classes, usually winding up as the number one student. She has lots of extra activities going as well as school.
Maureen and Mat
Maureen and Mat hosted her mother and a long-time friend (originally a summer companion at Big Bull Island in Flathead Lake) for Thanksgiving--with temperatures at 12 degrees with six inches of snow on the ground. Maureen has a meeting in New York this week, so Mat is going along for some fun in the big city. She'll be in Washington, D.C., for more meetings the first week of December. The big excitement is having the University of Montana as conference football champions, and in the playoffs for a national title.
We are in Talahassee, FL, after several days on the gulf coast where the photos below were taken. We spent Thanksgiving on the beach, and had a nice feast to boot! This week we'll be in Georgia visiting the area where Marie grew up, and seeing her only nephew who is a student at Abraham Baldwin College in Tifton.
