I wish I had something in my house that looked as nice as this picture, but no . . .

However, I DID have a cornucopia in my dining room that, evidently, went the way of the dodo bird this morning. Continue reading “It’s a Cornucopia”

The countdown is ON!

Do you have your turkey purchased? Most important question – is it out of the freezer and in the refrigerator to start thawing for Thursday? Continue reading “Turkeys, turkeys everywhere!”

We did it!

The Commissioners meeting went so well last night – and they approved the motion the hospital put before them . . . but we’re still A LONG WAY from the finish line. In fact, I think it’s safe to say we’ve just jumped the first hurdle. But we did it! Continue reading “Whew!”

This is it! The health system I work for is going to our County Commissioners tonight to ask them to apply for a loan from our state that will allow us to transition to a new model of health care over the next three years and, essentially, save health care in this county.

I promise – this is NOT going to turn into a running blog!

I may have already mentioned this, but one of my brothers recently told me about something he heard on a podcast. The speaker said that parents rank their children in the order in which they like them and this brother and I were trying to guess our ranking. With our dad, we’re all the same.

Wow – yesterday was a tough day. And I spent nine hours of it at work – how tough could it really have been? Continue reading “Caregiver – Care for Yourself!”
