I love our department. Nearly, six years post retirement and we are still close friends. How I have missed working with those folks! Now it's more fun to get together for dinner and good conversation. I think everyone was talking all at the same time. So much news! Nick B. got engaged, Pat's had great success with Model UN, Beth was thrilled that Ryan got into Cornell, Dave is loving taking care of his grandchildren, Nick C. has another great Mock Trial team, Eileen is in radiology school, Lisa sees our grads succeeding at Fredonia State. Then there were discussions of water in the basement in several of their homes, and a gas leak on Central Ave, and Orange is the New Black, and Charlotte in kindergarten, and Emmet's torn ACL and Shawn's cat plays the banjo and Rory loves stage crew and Amy's new grandson and a basketball player is starring as Birdie! Exciting and fun and full of love!
Penelope was just the same. Only five came, but that's ok. We worked till 12:45 and talked the whole time. Worry over spouses, traveling in the blizzard, needing help with computers, writing memoirs, kickstarting projects, traveling the world, Molly's old age, finding agents, peepers peeping, organizing chapters and adding illustrations. So much productive discussion!
And Silver Creek is a go! The board gave its approval yesterday morning at a special meeting. Steve met the superintendent when spoke at the rally to save Lake Shore Hospital yesterday. Today, Josh joined us for another discussion on the next few steps to enroll his kids in Quest. We are so pleased!
Valerie's newest project: all hand painted nesting dolls!
