Busy Days

The last two days have been filled with friends helping, and more food than we can eat, and we are making progress. We will have a memorial service here in Hamilton on Friday, Jan 7 at 2:00 at the University Chapel (which is where our Meeting meets). Then next week the kids and I will fly to the US, and it looks like we will be having a memorial service at the Governor's Row House (ok, this is only 97% confirmed, but I will say if it is different) at 2:00 on Sunday, January 16th. Where we got married, for those who are old enough to remember.

We will hang around Kansas about a week, hoping for snow, and then fly to Florida to visit Diagon Alley and Hogwarts and whatever we can find, then back to Sacramento to grandma, before slipping back to New Zealand in time for the kids to start school at the beginning of February.

Right now I am wearing out our poor little netbook trying to make all these reservations and preparations and so on.

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers, again and again.
Carrie

Thank you, Carrie, for sending this information.
You are all in our hearts as well as Manford.It sounded like a very loving and peaceful passing and that hymn has been important to me since childhood.
I feel Manford's presence at Meeting when I think of where he sat and the very meaningful sharing we had.
It will be wonderful to be with you in Meeting also.
Much love and light to you -glad you have such good friends and Meeting there.
Nancy and Joe
