Good News! Pete is finally home. He will have physical therapy for a couple of weeks, but that is outpatient thank goodness. He is getting stronger each day. He is still having a hard time sleeping, but managed to get five hours last night.

I am late in posting this, but here is my last LYA side swap. These lovely blooms are from Evelyn Short. The image was in a juried show at the Philadelphia Sketch club last year. So delicate and feminine!

I also received this from Mr. Dave.

I am imagining the sound of water softly lapping against the side of the boat.

Ahhhh…

Thank you Evelyn for swapping with me! So glad to meet you through LYA. Thanks Dave for adding to my collection of your images! And thank you all, for your prayers and well wishes for my Dad Pete! So grateful!

This merry Mingus medley brought to you by the letter m, as in middle. And the number 5, as in five weeks and counting.

I have passed the halfway mark. Working in batches to catch up, I missed the pomp and circumstance. And the chance to share a properly timed celebratory composition.

Still, I feel like saying… Wooo Hooo!

Fathers fifth week in the hospital, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
That deserves a Wooo Hooo too!
And a HALELULEJAH AMEN!

I managed to get these painted before I returned to Phoenix. That was about, hmm, a week ago. I did not have time to prep, or post as it turns out. Thinking of these as starts, but I do like them as they are.

Missed you Mingus!

Sun Setting 5/24/18.

Pete is out of ICU. He was transferred to a physical rehab facility. They are thinking it will be seven to ten days. One of his doctors apologised, told Pete he just happened to be that one in a million (not quite that many) that had complications.

So good to have him talking and joking again!

Grateful to all of you who sent good thoughts and prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
