KateP's musings

Dear Mom. Well its now several hours after the last note.  I went over to Liz’s around two and went through the papers that were returned to us, the prayer cards that we can give out to people.  We went through the condolence cards and Liz made a call to the RRB.  I have huge list as well.  I have to see what the etiquette requirements are for regular condolence cards vs. Mass cards.   Well I just looked it up and Liz is right its if they give gifts or money.  While I was over there I had some soup.  It was probably considered lunch.  We also got a call from Aunt Rosemary and while we were looking through the cards we talked.  You name it we talked.  You are right.  She laughs at everything.  Anyway she did pass along some sad news.  Cousin Greg lost his wife Terri.  She passed just about the same time you did.  So I am sure she is up there with you please tell her we are thinking of her.  I am going to...

I woke up this morning to more rain and clouds.  It is supposed to move out by this afternoon I heard but it got me to thinking.  What we are having is (at least I think) normal for this time of year but everyone in the midwest is not having such a great weather week.    They are having Tornados, huge dust storms and lots of rain throughout the southern part of the country.  I just read there is snow in the mountains in the west.. Actually this is the kind of day that First lady Michelle Obama says is good to spend the afternoon in places such as The Mystic Aquarium .  They were awarded a medal for service at the White House this week.  It is part of the Libraries and Museums organization.  I have been there a number of times over the years.  The most recent was probably 2 years ago with my brother and his kids.  I would love to go back again. Work was quiet  I spent most of the morning working on the re-address-junk mail ...

I wanted to see what the other major newspaper along the shoreline had to report on the impending strike at the nursing home and all they had was two lines reporting that Milford Mirror reported that the West River Nursing home will be going on strike. There were two comments on it. You can find it here. The Milford Mirror article is pretty much verbatim from CT-Post with a mention of the West River Nursing home lockout earlier this year. I have had only one response to the email that I sent out and that was from MVB. He had read it in the newspaper. I explained we don’t get the CT-Post we only get the NHR. No one else has responded to it. I did call Dr T and Mama Roberta but neither of them is home. Dr. T sent me an email that was sent to her from one of our friends BG. She was a charter member of our club and after several years she had to stop because of schedule. Anyway there are workshops this week Called POCD or something. They want to make changes or move certain things in...
