Kathleen Norris, Book Deal, Oceanic, Trach, and Business Stuff

Yesterday, Peg's Leg Marita Biven came by with Peggy's favorite poet, Kathleen Norris, for a visit! Peggy was thrilled! It turned out to be a very "literary" day...Peggy later had a meeting with Roger, the agent helping with Shelly and Peggy's book. They have found a publisher who is very interested in the book, however would like to publish it as an adult picture book first, rather than a children's book. Peggy has 2 other children's books she has written that she wants to publish down the line, but first we have all decided to focus on the adult book that Shelly and her have completed. Roger thinks that if we move now, there is a good possibility that the adult book could be out by Christmas! Wow!

I got Oceanic to come out and fix our internet today. They did all kinds of rewiring and rerouting, so we shouldn't have any more problems with the connectivity dropping off. Since Dr. Davis had us move up to "business class" to handle the tele-med stuff, their tech service is so great! Non-commercial tech service can take weeks - they came just a couple hours after I called! Love it!

Peggy's trach bleeding was better today, but she was experiencing some discomfort. FYI - she had Marvel add 1 cc of air into the cuff at 2pm.

Marvel and Peggy have been working on nose paintings. Peggy is doing a Thanksgiving themed nosepainting that was commissioned by the ALS Association. They want to use it for their company Thanksgiving/Fall greeting card. They are also doing greeting cards with 4 of her images - a right hand, left hand, teeth, and eye - that will be sold on their website.

Also - more good news - Pacific Island Art just sent us the Peggy Chun Calendar for 2008! They look great and will be available mid-year for $12 through us and in stores. Hooray - We have Peggy Chun calendars again!
