The librarian's cell phone rang in the middle of the day, and though she was a bit surprised to see who was calling, she answered in a cheerful tone with, "Hello my darling daughter! How are you; is everything ok?"
"Well..." Blanche answered slowly, "mostly ok, but...you know those two weeks you were going to take off in March? I'm going to need you to take them off now. I'm calling from the hospital where my firstborn and your youngest grandchild is unfortunately being forced to evacuate his comfortable hideout to make his debut in the cold, cruel world - my water broke."
The librarian sat up straight at her desk with a look of shocked surprise on her face and immediately began to print out the directions to the hospital she had saved on her work computer, thanking her superior organizational skills for having planned ahead in case of contingency, while pulling up the travel weather site - thank goodness it looked clear; she was not looking forward to the 6 hour drive in general, but bad weather would have made it intolerable, and her daughter knew that, so she quickly reassured her: "Do not fear, I am on my way!"

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.
