1611 - Summary/Objective
1612 -
161201 - Follow up ref SDS 1 0001.
161202 -
161203 - Yesterday, we went shopping and I got Millie an organizer for her
161204 - desk at the house.
161205 -
161206 - We got Steve and Lilly a nice gift from Bombay that is for storing
161207 - keys.  We got Ron Jr. and Kim a figurine, and another for Pam and
161208 - Bill.  Got Ron Senior a blanket.
161209 -
161210 -     Millie later got a nice note from Ron saying he appreciated the
161211 -     blanket, because it warms his feet, and his heart.
161212 -
161213 - Millie was up at 0430 this morning preparing pies and special dishes
161214 - for Christmas eve.
161215 - ..
161216 - By 1000 she had everyting ready.
161217 -
161218 - Took Millie to Pam and Bill's at 1300.
161219 -
161220 - Millie had purchased everything for the dinner.  We got everything
161221 - set up, and Millie put the prime rib in the oven, so it would be
161222 - ready about 1800 for dinner.
161223 -
161224 - Christmas eve was very nice with everybody visiting, except this year
161225 - Drisc and Bob did not come because Drisc wanted to be with her brother
161226 - who is suffering from cancer.  She has not seen her brother in a long
161227 - time.  As a result, Chris and Debbie and their kids did not come, and
161228 - neither did Keith and Antionette.
161229 -
161230 - So, we felt short-handed, especially because Ron Jr. and Kim did not
161231 - get the word that the Bronis' were not coming.  They had presents for
161232 - everyone, which now have to be sent somehow by mail.
161233 - ..
161234 - Millie did a great job preparing a prime rib meal, with creamed
161235 - spinich and a lot of extras.  Kim, Pam and Lilly all prepared tasty
161236 - dishes to help, but Millie did all of the work to put everything
161237 - together.
161238 -
161239 - Bill and Pam were gracious hosts.  Steve and Lilly were wonderful as
161240 - always, and the kids all had a great time, especially, and of course,
161241 - opening presents.
161242 -
161243 - Mathew seemed to like his gift, which Lilly had suggested based on
161244 - doing some shopping "intelligence" work for us.  Mathew and Nolan
161245 - spent most of their time upstairs playing video games.  Turns out that
161246 - Nolan likes football after all.  Millie had understood from Bill a few
161247 - weeks ago that Nolan had not taken an interest in football, and seems
161248 - to be entirely focused on baseball, but Nolan, like all, young people
161249 - has a wide range of interests, based in part on interacting with
161250 - children at school.
161251 - ..
161252 - This year Millie gave all of the kids $50 cash, and a present.
161253 - We got the three older girls journals.  They have sayings about
161254 - lessons of life, which may encourage them to start keeping a journal.
161255 - I wrote in each journal something from the Aristotle quote.
161256 - ..
161257 - When we returned home, after Christmas eve, Millie was upset,
161258 - probably mostly about recognizing the passing for time.  She cried for
161259 - about an hour and encouraged me to keep in touch with my mother and to
161260 - recognize my mother for all that she has done and tried to do for her
161261 - children, as Millie did for her children, particularly this Christmas,
161262 - per above.
161263 -
161264 - Millie remembered her mother, mourning her passing and leaving her
161265 - life at such a young age.
161266 -
161267 -      [On 020107 sent letter to Ron Sr., with copy to Millie and to Pam
161268 -      on this general issue. ref SDS 2 0001
161269 -
161270 -      [On 020108 letter from Pam on this matter. ref SDS 3 0001
161271 - ..
161272 - We discussed a bit how adult children tend to look South
161273 - focusing on their own children and affairs, and so tend to take mom
161274 - and dad for granted, because mom and dad have always been there, and
161275 - have always been helping them, and never needed help nor recognition,
161276 - like the sun, the moon, the sky, the oceans and the mountains.
161277 -
161278 - Millie worried about how Ron Sr., might feel, because he has so little
161279 - contact with the kids.
161280 - ..
161281 - Millie, however, has always been recognized by her family,
161282 - friends and co-workers, like the the letter she got saying that if
161283 - this person ever get run over by a truck, he wants the world to know
161284 - what a wonderful person Millie is, and of course recently she was the
161285 - only person from her office invited to join in celebrating at the
161286 - exclusive Bohemien club, her boss' 75th birthday.  So, Millie is loved
161287 - and appreciated by all who know her, even though at times like
161288 - Christmas her children tend to focus more attention on their own
161289 - children, like Millie did when her children were growing up.
