Jerome called me yesterday on the way back from Danville. Mombo and I had just enjoyed POLLYANNA at the community theatre and saw Bruce and Lee perform. It was wonderful to hear Jerome’s happy voice (even though he still sounds a little hoarse). I could hear Janet and Juliana in the background. He put her […]

is what he calls her. Jerome called Mombo again today. She has her first nickname. She also has her American name: Juliana Molina Dixon. She has called Janet “Mommy.” The Embassy is not open on Monday due the Presidents’ Day holiday, so they cannot get her visa until Tuesday. She has done well taking her […]

This really isn’t my update, but Mombo’s. I just passing it on. Dear Clan, Molina is theirs. Jerome called about 2:30 p.m. today. They are in the Hotel, have a cell phone and have Molina with them. They got her at 9 this morning. She is doing fine, takes the bottle ok, checked her, thought […]

After the first week of school, I am trying to get back into the swing of a routine, and I hope that can mean dong regular blog postings. We started out with disappoinment at a scuttled attempt for stateside private adoption at Yorkshire Estates. But the week ended with a fun Clan Shower Shindig in […]

After Joe died I must have some form of grief induced a.d.d. Anyway, I couldn’t read anything longer than a short magazine or newspaper article. A novel? Forget it.
