Meredyth...

It's dark time for everyone at Nashotah. Just returned from the hospital and visited with Carrie and Casey. I brought a bag of pistachio nuts that Carrie and I downed rather quickly...but did you know that a hearty serving of 49 nuts has the same number of calories as 13 potato chips! Will wonders never cease. You had another surgery this afternoon and God is taking good care of you. If things go as expected you should be waking up sometime this weekend. While we were in the waiting room I got to share one of the Just for Laughs videos on Youtube. If you'd been awake you might have heard the laughter coming down the hall! In the news today it was noted that Glen Bell died. Who is that you wonder? If you've ever been to a Taco Bell it was all his idea...don't blame me.

Today was also the yearly announcement of the Caldecott and Newberry book awards. Rebecca Stead's book When You Reach Me won the Newberry and Jerry Pickney's The Lion and the Mouse won the Caldecott. Another book to add to your collection. I spent the day reading several books...one for class next term and the other a historical fiction story on the early life of Christ by Gerd Theissen titled The Shadow of the Galilean. For the remainder of this evening I'll be dining in with Progresso Chicken Noodle and writing a few more letters. We miss having you around us and are anxious to get together soon. Sweet dreams...rusty
