Adult Babysitting

Today is my first experience with Barbara-sitting. My husband went off to services at Temple Micah today and left me in the capable hands of my friend Deborah. He had already arranged “sitting” with our good friends KC and LR, but this is when Deborah could come play music, so they will get their turn next week, possibly when he has to go out again.

You may have noticed the absence of photos lately on my Blog. It seems my camera somehow disappeared either in the ambulance ride or in the ER or somewhere else in the hospital. I’ve missed being able to pull it out of my backpack and take pictures, even though most of my pictures are amateurish at best.

Given that we didn’t have to spend money on a recliner or on other equipment, I persuaded my husband to buy a replacement camera for me off the Internet. I hope it comes today so I can resume taking pictures.

The refrigerator is stocked with countless leftovers from good cooks who have shared with us over the past week. A beautiful white box of the best chocolate chip cookies, made my none other than my favorite female rabbi, sits on the kitchen counter.

Cut flowers and the most beautiful double orchid ever from Blogger buddies Gewels and Bulletholes adorn the house.

The level of dog hair is no worse than usual. Some things don’t change.
