Visiting with a friend, coffee and pj's
Brunch with RGH School of Nursing - 260 nurses - classmates all: career instructors, staff nurses, and administrators. 43rd Annual Alumnae meeting for my school of nursing. In the first years, it was a Saturday evening supper, however a couple of years ago, we voted to change it to a Sunday brunch. (Today, and quite spontaneously, it was decided that the Roughrider fans - dressed in Roughrider green t-shirts ate first so they wouldn't miss the game). A 75 year class reunion, a 60 year class reunion and a 50 year reunion besides those of us in the in between years spent the brunch hour reminiscing with great fondness.
Our speaker this year was Jacque Tisher of Hope's Home here in Regina. Jacque Tisher is an RN, who began Hope's Home because of her own child with complex special needs. Hope's Home is the only day care in Canada for children with complex medical needs. Any of the family's children in need of day care come to this daycare special needs - whether with or without complex medical needs. An important principal for this organization is that of family. Hope's Home is a non-profit organization, only four years old, that now has day care sites in Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
A brief break for a bit more visiting.
Then out to supper with my grandson - Thanks Jon! Love you! Love talking philosophical ideas with you..
Now: visiting with a friend while watching the Emmy's, back in pj's.
