Before Carol & Dan left for Arizona they spent a couple of days with us, showing us around, introducing us to family, friends and neighbours and we all had a marvellous opportunity to get to know each other - usually, we only have a half day or a full day if we are lucky, to familiarise ourselves with the house, pets and local facilities. This extra time was an unexpected luxury.During our time with Carol and Dan we discovered that they are truly special people. Kind, generous and genuine.
Carol spends a significant amount of her time devoting her energies to supporting the Stephen Lewis Foundation (http://www.stephenlewisfoundation.org/grandmothers.htm). One of the fundraising activities involves handmade dolls which are sold to raise money for the foundation - we had a fun evening
with Carol helping make some dolls with a Christmas theme - I (Tracy), have never been particularly creative with my hands and it would be fair to say I struggled but I did manage one doll to Carol and Della's 3 or 4!! 
Good laugh had by all though and all for a very good cause.
