Term ending, wife returning

The happy fellow in the dark blue shirt just finished successfully defending his monograph. The rest of us are his profs. Next Saturday is graduation for eleven seniors. Classes for me have already ended but I do have lots of papers to grade, most of which I will leave for doing after December 9. I was invited by the graduates to give the commencement address on the theme, "Jesus Christ, our Foundation" so preparation for that is my main concern just now.

Vivian is due to arrive in Sao Luis Tuesday AM. It will have been 33 days since she left to help care for our two grandsons in Rhode Island. She had a great time and I was able to survive, preparing most meals for myself. Our daughter-in-law rested more because Vivian was there and today her own mom arrived. Perhaps the new baby will be a Christmas present, or if he waits until January 1, he will be born on my birthday! We continue to pray that all will go well. We haven't heard the name they've chosen. That's probably the easiest part. Posted by Picasa
