Sunday morning

It is not yet 10 AM on a Sunday morning and already I have: gone to Church where, in the course of the Mass sang 14 songs!; gone to the goat pen and freed our 2 resident goats to roam the grounds for the day; taken a picture of the latest mother and baby at the Center; prepared small "cados" (gifts) for the new babies to come; talked with a mother of a very emaciated little girl who leaves today for Port Au Prince to have the child seen by a heart specialist; and printed the picture I took to give to the mother! Now I think it is time to sit and have a cool glass of ...something! It has already rained this morning so I think we are in for a hot, humid day. However, right now the sun is shining and it promises to be another beautiful day here in Jeremie, Haiti.
May all be right in your world, too. God bless. Mary Ann

Remember the woman who didn't want to go to the hospital to deliver? She got there, delivered in about an hour, a few hours later returned to the center, and after a couple more hours I went to take a picture of her and the baby. She had already left to return to the mountains! That is what I call one tough woman!!
