Barbara Calhoun Ill

Today Barbara, who'd had a fever over the weekend, got out of bed and collapsed. Her legs wouldn't hold her up, and she fell on her left arm, which we feared fractured or broken.
Since she's 91, and on the good advice of Bayada Nurses, who visit her, we took her to Gifford Hospital in Randolph (in an ambulance) and she was checked out -- and as usual, ate a hearty lunch in the ER!
She has no broken bones, and her fever had come down, but she does have some pneumonia. If people would like to write to her, please send the letters to her at

I will get them to her; or you can write directly to her at

I think and hope she'll be well again in a few days. These years following William's and then her husband Don's deaths (2008 and 09) have been hard for her, but mostly she keeps her cheery aspect up and looks at the imaginative, sensual, and Blakeian themes of the ways of Time and Eternity.
I wish she were well enough to paint, or draw. It doesn't seem to happen much any more, not so surprising in someone her age. But perhaps next spring I will take her out to the hills (in a car, on the roads) and we can do some drawing.  I hope we will have the chance.

I'll keep updates here.
Thanks
