Yesterday was fantabulous all the way around! Ross, Tod, Roland and I met with Stephen at TLC. Stephen gave us some great direction for what camp needs. This lead to THE THREE MEMORIAL IDEAS. Yipppee! I am so excited and can't wait for you to see them. It will be soon.

Later we had our annual camp Christmas party. Last year everyone came to Dallas so Chuck could be a part of it. He was still a part of it this year. His presence was felt everywhere yesterday. Quite obviously...the day began with CAMP. Then we went to his favorite restaurant for lunch. Someone brought pecan logs for all the adults (a story I did not even know until yesterday...Chuck apparently thought a Stucky's pecan log was the "ultimate gift"...to pass back and forth among friends). We played "Outburst," one of Chuck's faves. I received a gift fitting of the unique Christmas greeting Chuck and I used...the greeting needs some explanation...for another day. Then there was the picture of Chuck and Eloise...Paul found it recently. Chuck and Eloise...both living it up in Heaven now...are all giggly. Eloise is reaching out across the table to touch...or punch him. I'm certain Chuck just said something hilarious...and inappropriate.

It was a GREAT beginning for the month of December.
