When the phone rings at 3:30 am and you have a love in the hospital, your breath catches. Then you hear her voice. Breath returns.

As you may have guessed it was [profile] dbubley calling. She knows I'm often up late and since the hospital staff decided it was a good time to try the bedpan routine, she called me to keep her entertained. The good news is the surgeons signed off on her - meaning they ain't going to cut her! The infection is slowly, but surely on the run. She might come home Friday.

This evening I'm having a going away party for my ex-boss, JJM. She retired a little over a year ago. We kept putting off on a party because she wasn't sure she wanted one. But now she is leaving the country for the island of St. Lucia's. She will buy land there, build a house and a school/ministry. Her daughter and son-in-law live there and are both involved in education. JJM will fit right in with her philosophy and art.

I am putting a book together of photo's from her last 3 or 4 months at Studio One. These were the months we moved out of the old building so it could be upgraded. I took picture of just about everything. If I'd had more time I could have gone through my 20 years worth of photo's and put something more comprehensive of her 30 years at the site. But that's not to be. I've been working on this every spare minute I get. All of the editing, and most of the layout it complete. I just have a few more pages and then I need to finish printing all of them and put them in the scrapbook.

Did I mention the party is at our house? It's a potluck and I'm making turkey chili. I've fried the meat and onions. Tomorrow I just have to throw everything in the crock pot and turn it on. I already sauteed the spinach. I need to make a quick trip to the store to get some drinks and shredded cheese, a little cleaning to do and I'll be ready for guests.

We'll it's probably time to go to bed. I have to be up no later than 8 am.
nite/good morning ya'll
