Wednesday

Vicki, one of Tashie's first and dearest Montcrest teachers, arrived from Halifax yesterday for a week's stay at Camp Sherman. Clarke has been the faithful and smooth driving chauffeur for Wanda, Rachel, and now Vicki - fortunately, he loves to drive, and now knows that road by heart. Tashie is working hard on her therapy, although she tried (unsuccessfully) to talk Rachel into stopping at 3 laps rather than continuing to the prescribed 6.
Bobo is in attendance for one more day, and will be sorely missed before he even leaves the driveway. Rachel also is slated to return to Portland, handing the sceptre to Vicki this afternoon. Tashie is moving around quite independently now, manoeuvering her walker with little or no outside help. She'll seems to be returning rather quickly to her pre-fall state - what a trooper! I'll send photos when the family photographers get up there on Friday. In the meantime, we can always be comforted and exhilarated by images of the land that sustains us.
