Jessie's going to NYC with me this fall! One of my mom's friends had to drop out, and I sort of offhand asked Jessie if she might like to go with, and YAY! She's going to meet us there, because the rest of us are flying out of NOLA. I cannot wait for November...
In other news, have finally made the move to the new part of the office. Everyone else moved last week, but the area I'm in needed more work (as did my new desk setup). My stuff's been packed since last Friday, so work this week has been challenging in more than just the usual ways. Judgment on the new space and location is still being held until I've unloaded all my crap and really settled in. I will say, however, that the 10 degree temperature drop is already working wonders for my temperment and work ethic.
Just in case you were wondering, my grandmother passed away last month. Thank you again to all of you who were praying and keeping my family in your thoughts during the past few months.
It happened in the best way possible - we had all had a chance to say our goodbyes, and my mother and aunt and grandfather were there with her. It was her heart, weakened by the cancer, that took her, not the cancer itself, so she was in no pain, for which I am so thankful.
Huge thanks to hospice. God works in mysterious ways - the month before Mama was diagnosed with cancer, I ate breakfast with two hospice nurses at the quilt guild retreat. Before that conversation, I had no idea what hospice did and the services they provide. When we had a family meeting after the diagnosis, I was able to help my family make an informed decision about her care, which ultimately did include hospice. The hospice nurses were a great help and comfort.

I think I have three weeks left to finish? I need to check the dates. I have all the bases done, just need to finish decorating.
What every LSU season ticket holder is going to see!!
Last night I found out that my brother is on the folder for all the LSU season ticket holders this year. (They usually highlight the coach, a band member, a golden girl, a cheerleader, and a football player in the graphic design.) It's a great shot of him playing his baritone last fall during football season. They picked him out of a crowd in a group shot. It's so exciting!
