Darla just told me she had an e-mail from someone wanting to know if Bluebell the Hermit Crab had survived. No. Bluebell didn’t make it. Trinity took it very well. Part of that wellness, I think, is having seven hermit crabs left. We now have an isolation tank set up for molting crabs with it’s own heat source, damp sand, water and high calcium food. Bluebell was our first crab to molt and I think it caught us all by surprise. Actually, we thought Gabrielle, our biggest crab, had eaten her. But apparently all Gabrielle ate was Bluebell’s shed exoskeleton.
On a happier note, thanks to the nice lady who gave me a copy of STAND TALL, MOLLY LOU MELON by Patty Lovell, illustrated by David Gatrow. It’s a very fun children’s book about making the best of what you’ve got. The lady who gave it to me (sorry I’ve totally blanked on your name) said that she thought I’d appreciate it because of my dedicating a book to my grandmother, who was only 4′ 11″. That did make me appreciate the book all the more. Thanks again.
Gotta get back to work. Need to make pages, pages, pages.
