THE PROMISE OF A GIRL

I haven't posted any recent medical updates about Callie, because Ashley has it so well covered! In fact, we've been relying on her blog for updates! As you can see, things are looking cautiously up for the little miss. We're fighting allergy-induced colds here at our house (a side effect of attending school, I think), so not sure when we'll be back to the hospital to see her. There's not an hour that goes by that I don't think about her, and how hard her little body is fighting to come back to her family. She's obviously still got some bossing around to do here in this life!

Today is the first day I've actually felt like it might not still be summer here in the valley! I even considered getting out some of my fall decorations and doin' up the place with them. But then the feeling passed, and I did laundry instead. I know, hopelessly practical of me. Who knows, maybe tomorrow the feeling will return! Fall and harvest time is my favorite, and the drop in temperature (down into the balmy 90's) stokes my creative energy as well. I may even start working on Christmas cards this evening at a scrapbook gathering of friends that I'm attending! Wouldn't that be something?! Yes, that would be something. I also think I might like to make some muffins. And sew something. And make a wreath. But before that, I think I'll join my laundry, already in progress...heavy sigh.

Hoo boy, does that laundry thing sound familiar! Wouldn't it be nice to have time for some impractibilty? Glad to hear its a little cooler in the Valley, finally. We were at 57 degrees on the way to school Friday morning, and I loved it!
