sunday

I received a snail mail letter from one of my favorite work friends.

She's an 80 year old, African American woman, a nurse, mother, and a widow early on in her marriage. She's a smart, strong, independent woman. I love her.

I haven't seen her in at least 2 years but probably it's been closer to three years.

She was one of the staff members let go several months back when the facility let go most of the PRN staff. She was a hard worker and filled in frequently if she was in town. 

She was a competent nurse and a loyal employee. That loyalty was not reciprocated. 

It's too bad too. She was an asset to the company.

But anyway, she sent a very sweet letter. It brightened my whole week! I was so happy to hear from her and touched she took the time to write.

Family is coming from Colorado the end of next week.

So I have a lot of things I want to get done around the house the next several days.

I'm looking forward to their visit.

We went (boyfriend and I) to the Kentucky Wool Festival Friday.

Mostly it's arts, crafts, and food. Then of course there's the sheep and all of the wool products.

Last year they had nice wool blankets.

I regret not buying a couple of them. I looked for them this year but 

didn't see them. They were a deal for ten bucks!

We had a funnel cake while there.

I haven't had one of those in decades.

It was so good!
