Hud McWilliams

Hello friends,

I just received a much needed email from Hud today. Yesterday, I had surgery on my bladder and I wanted you, our dear friends, to know that everything went quite well. I’m resting today, as Lexi and the boys are going up to their old neighborhood to be with friends and to . . . → Read More: France and Germany

Good morning!

Perhaps you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from Hud and me lately! Well, to make a long story short, - company!

Since the first week in July, we’ve had people in our home. Hud has been wonderful - making beds and cooking!

Leadership for CAI were here starting July 6th, until our CONNECT (July 12-16) in Granby, Colorado, (just one of 5 Regional CONNECTS this year). Hud spoke at this CONNECT, and did a couple of workshops on “Shame”.

Then our Dutch family from the Netherlands came to stay with us for several days after CONNECT. It was lovely to have them. They’ve been saving for this for several years. They have 4 kids that we call our Dutch babies. The morning they left, I went to my H.S. girlfriend’s funeral, and needless to say, “I was done” - that end of the rope thing, you know.

That night we had a huge wind and hail storm, which totaled our roof and sheds and damaged my beautiful flowers in our backyard, and tore off 3 huge limbs from our tree in the front yard. And since Hud was making a bed for Huddy and April in our garage, my car was out - yes the one that was given to me when we left TX. And yes, it too was totaled. So sorry! I guess I had a little rope left after all. :o)

Then our two grand daughters came to stay with us (Cate, 4 and Olive, 1) for 3 days. They took a lot of energy! And speaking of energy, at the end of the day, I would say that the girls won :o), but we had such fun, and it was a privilege to keep them. Jeff and Libby came the last night of their stay, and we all had breakfast together on our patio the next morning. The weather is spectacular in Colorado (when it’s not hailing)! That same evening, Jody, Lexi and Zane, 10, and Tab, 8, came to be with us for 3 weeks, from Heidelberg. Actually, Jody leaves the 9th to go back to Heidelberg because of work, but Lexi and the boys will be here till about the 19th of Aug.

Dear Ones,

I was amused yesterday, when Hud told me that he had 52 “intense and passionate” emails from friends we hadn’t heard about from decades ago! While in Dallas recently, we saw our “web master” who suggested that Hud look at his website from time to time! :o) Duh! He had a . . . → Read More: Latest in the lives of the Macs!
