Last Euro Meeting

What had become Ragnar's annual trip to Spain for Euro meetings has come to an end. He recently joined the leaders from our European Sending Countries for the last time. In some ways that is hard to believe. He has enjoyed organizing this annual event and the week of meetings each year. It really doesn't seem that long ago that they were welcoming us aboard, but this was our 6th time (including the one in Italy in 2006.)

 We were with Craig, Claire and family the week-end before Ragnar flew south, plus I stayed on for a few more days. 

It was 4 against 1 in this game - in the end Ellie had more than the other 4 altogether.

On that Sunday afternoon, Claire arranged for a Filipino couple to come to their home for a cup of tea. We enjoyed a nice chat with them - so interesting to learn that they also are involved with Mother Tongue translators in the Philippines.

Thinking about driving home alone on those busy highways did not excite me, but once the wheels were turning, I began to relax and 3 hr. later was turning into our driveway - safely home.
