Blankets

I have not heard the name Trump in days and it is great! Guess what?  The Kenyans are not preoccupied with our election and the results of the Iowa caucus!  They do have their own politics to be sure!  We have no TV or radio for 5 weeks. Our music is via iPod and is of our own choosing.   This is quite relaxing and interestingly.  I really do not miss the campaign rhetoric .  Even the Super Bowl is of little consequence.  I will admit that there are a few Bronco fans here and so we are trying to hold the Panther banner high.  If we want to watch the Super Bowl we will have to stream it or connect via Facebook with someone in the US.  We will have to do that at 2:30 AM and so I am undecided as to whether I will participate!   I hate to admit it but I may be dreaming about a Panther victory rather than viewing it!

This morning, I delivered the 100 baby blankets that friends in Wilmington helped me make.  We make them extra small so that they just fit over babies in incubators and tiny beds. The head nurse is always happy to see new colorful blankets arrive to replace many of the rags they use. Nothing is thrown away until it completely falls apart.  Many thanks to Peg, Nancy and Beth for  making this project possible.

Marv is on his first night call tonight.  Hopefully it will not be too bad and he can ease into this.  It gets a bit more difficult to get up in the middle of the night as you age!  He is  really enjoying the students and residents that are on the OB service.
