It looks like things are quieting down, at least for a couple of weeks. The travel season is over after last week-end's trips to Orlando (mission presidents seminar)and Washington, D.C. (quorum meeting( and a mid-week visit to a zone leaders council in Statesville. It is rainy and bleak here, but not nearly what people are experiencing elsewhere. Jack's return flight from Provo was delayed several hours by weather in Salt Lake and across the country. He finally caught a non-stop that landed at 3 a.m. Marilyn and I took a nap on the floor, under the Christmas tree, before getting up to drive to the airport to pick him up. Yesterday, we got up late, straighten things up around the house, went to the mall to fight the crowds, then went to a matinee movie --Bolt. I am now officially in the Christmas spirit.
