Today, Wendy and I received a sweet picture of Dimetrios from Valerie who was with him at the hospital in Salt Lake City helping him with a bath and then he went to sleep. He looks so much like Sonja lying there asleep...

He isn't ready to come home yet, but he is out of ICU. We are all grateful for that, and sending him and all there lots of love. I'll be thinking of Dimetrios as I fall asleep and saying thanks that he is my great-grandson...saying thanks for all who bring love and friendship into my life.

Here the light is changing and it is crisp out tonight. No fan on for sleeping.

My new China-made desk is in place after some false starts on rearranging the corner it is in. Stuffing it was the main occupation of the day.

Keoni and Aidan were home with a day off school for Rosh Hashanah. There was music in the house all day long; even I got a small bit in on the piano again. I have missed it.

Aidan and his dad are watching the Broncos and Ravens going at it. Time for me to go call Toby in and give him his treat.
