It was another day of dealing with my sister’s hospitalization in North Carolina. I am finding out just how difficult this is to do long-distance. The good news is that the doctor has okayed her release from the hospital. The bad news is the physical therapist wants her to go to rehab and that is complicating matters. More on this tomorrow.
I attended my second ‘Beyond the White House’ class today. This week we focused on John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, and son of John Adams, the second president. The truly fascinating thing about John Quincy is that he ran for a seat in the House of Representatives after his presidency and spent nearly three decades in the House truly making a difference.
Then last night I went to an Encore Mingle and Mix. These are small gatherings of people who all bring food and drink and then have two hours of conversation while eating and drinking. This one lasted way beyond the two hours, but that was fine with the hosts, and we all enjoyed the extended conversation. Thanks to Peter and Karen Baranowski for hosting this month.
