England for a week, followed by another in Paris, is where Travis and Emory had spent their Christmas holidays. It was Emory's graduation from law school gift to Travis and a last big hurrah for the both before attempting to start having a family. After visiting with Helen (Lewie, unfortunately was out of country) they were off to Paris, landing in a quaint, tiny apartment right across from Notre Dame (where Trav had proposed). They literally heard the bells on Christmas morning! Mostly rainy, it didn't matter as they were able, on this 2nd trip, to enjoy their stay leisurely, as opposed to the more frantic pace of most 1st time tourists. Complete with a tiny kitchen, Emory even made Christmas dinner. Le sigh...... Therefore, the family festivities had been put on hold until T and E could make it down to Charleston. Always a delight to see them, how much more exciting to be regaled with European tales! The only damper on our official gathering was that Page had broken her leg while visiting them earlier and was moving about in a wheelchair.
