I hope she will be able to progress on to becoming an officer. <BR/><BR/>I can't really imagine how it must feel to see one's father that way. Old age sometimes really sucks and we can do nothing about it!

Somehow I think that's what is happening with your Dean... she recognizes that in a better-run world you'd be paid to do what you do for your school, and wishes she could make it so. <BR/><BR/>But if Karma counts, you're sure racking up the points, Mary!

Those are the ones that will last. <BR/><BR/>It must be because you're in Maryland - this morning I had a male rose-breasted grosbeak on the deck. First time I've ever seen one, here or anywhere! He hung on the arm that holds the feeder, then chased a sparrow away as he tried to get seeds. He was too big to bend back to the opening, but that didn't stop him trying! Thanks for bringing him along.Peg Sillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264210610044622009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-8442582027428694482008-05-10T09:18:00.000-04:002008-05-10T09:18:00.000-04:00I know the graduates will appreciate your gift to ...I know the graduates will appreciate your gift to them, Mary. <BR/><BR/>I understand the bittersweet time at the nursing home all too well.
