Saturday and Hayley's exhibit is up and glowing....

The last twenty four hours have been incredibly busy and there is so much to complete before next Friday. Monday I need to go back to the bank and sign a form I forgot to complete...today I received two letters from the president and the vice president of my new professional banking collaboration. I know...well, I think this is a real honor and I am moved by their generosity and loving support. Tuesday I need to attend the board meeting to conclude some summer visitor business and maybe invite them to have a meeting in the future at the studio. Wednesday I will finish up the readiness for the opening on Friday night and make my final lists for foods and wine and drinks and to be packed for my night of grandparent duty as we will watch the two little ones while Erin and Chance prepare for the upcoming Cesarean and the birth of their third child on Thursday. On Thursday afternoon we will all go up to have dinner at the hospital and introduce Cole and Morgan to the new baby and reassure them to see their Mom and Dad. On Friday morning Grandma Lauren will take over for the little ones for now and Saturday so I can be in Newark for the big Final Art Walk in downtown Newark. Hayley is coming after school to help set up and double check the labels and prices of her pieces. Saturday I will prepare meals to carry over to the new baby's house and watch the little ones until Monday when Momma is due to come home. Whew it is going to be a very busy week and please pray that we all stay healthy and calm through the passage of time. The circle of life and love is continuing to grow and flourish in our lives. I have included a few photos of the last steps in putting the exhibit together...I hope you enjoy the promise of tomorrow's new artist. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
