Today is a very chilly one – in the 20’s, at best. Luckily, we have a warm home, and sunshine is lighting up the coldness outside.

     We had a very important meeting with out five children on Saturday, a chance to go over our “advance health care directives” and make sure they fully understand our wishes in situations where we are unable to make decisions for ourselves (dementia, stroke, etc.) It was a quiet, thoughtful, and thorough meeting, and I think all of us present felt that it was helpful.

         We’re heading up to Jamie’s today ro pick up the kids and spend some time with them over dinner while Jamie’s works with high students after school. It’s a treat for us to spend time each week with two such wonderful young people as Noah and Ava.
