1979 Roberta's postcard -Oct. 6


Saturday AM
[Oct . 6. 1979]

HI!  Wanted to at least get this postal in the mail this AM.  Tests yesterday went pretty well . . . maybe.  I'll be anxious to find out.  I sure have a heck of an assignment due in on Monday.  All about GRANTS . . . the federal ones, foundation . . . community, corporation, etc.  We have to find examples of each and then write out a draft on one . . . just a rough one, which will have to be worked on in time . . . as for in class.  I now have just over 1,000 miles on my bike . . . really putting the miles on it just going back and fourth to Tempe.  did go into Phoenix on it one day this last week . . . had to go down there to pick up some literature at the Council on Aging.  Had no problem . . . except was a little tired of seating when I got back.  No, that would be sitting.  Just on Thursday I got an invitation from Lisa -- along with a letter saying that she had found my invite in her car when cleaning it out.  How was the wedding???  Did you go to the dinner -- or whatever afterwards???  Three men -- two being in their 20's have bought the nursing home where Agnes is.  They are really making the effort to clean up the place both inside and outside.  Have really got it looking nice outsisde already . . . flowers planted in the planter, the whole bit.  Agnes still must spend most of her time in bed.  Tho today we have the Dial-a-Ride van for wheelchairs reserved to take her (and us) to the new Mall and also to the dog show at the Community College.  Though with her leg down so much she should be alot easier to lift than when Dad had to do it.  Fred is still not good.  But (according to him) with the dog, he can't think of going to a nursing home.  Ok, gotta go . . . to take the Saturday load of cans to the BIRP place before getting to the nursing home.
