1989 Roberta's Letter -Nov.20


11-20-79
Dear Folks,

Hi!  We had a great weekend in Tucson -- it's one of our favorite places to go -- so happy to have the excuse to be there!

Ate out w/ Joe -- Chinese food -- Saturday for supper -- then drove back to PHX -- didn't get here till 11:30 PM!   Miss Wendy & I did the New Times Walk Sunday AM -- I had to pick her up at 6:45 AM - so that was a short night!  We both did the 5K walk fine -- then enjoyed walking around the tables -- to get free samples -- etc!  Later we watched the 10K Runners come in -- some of them looked very BEAT!

Sid & I got the word (Saturday at 11:30 PM) that the Annual County inspection would be Monday AM - TODAY -- so the paperwork was all gone over w/ a "Fine tooth comb" -- you know w/ the county -- if it's not documented -- it's NOT DONE!  Sid is a #1 expert in documentation!  The troops (4) came -- one goes over all the nursing notes/ files, medicine, etc.  One goes over all the contact details -- time cards, moves, food orders, etc. -- two go over all the resident files -- orientations, check beds, toilets, etc.  Actually it is all quite overwhelming!  We all look forward to breathing a sign of relief when it's over & then of course dread it already for the next time!  Right now they have all gone for lunch & were supposed to have been back about 40 minutes ago!

We go to the Nutcracker Ballet this Sunday -- I was able to get discounted tickets -- through a friend whose husband works for the schools.  I got 16 tickets & could have used more!  Great value at $6.40 each!  The Ballet is down at the new Chandler Pavilion for the Arts -- it's a brand new building & suppose to be like Lincoln Center -- esp. at night.  Our tickets are for the 5:30 pm performance -- we will be back in good time!  Gloria from Mesa is taking 3 people & then 12 of us from "westside" are going -- including Miss Wendy Jean.  Both Sid & I will drive -- good thing we have (2) family sedans!  One of the residents said that riding in the town car was like riding on a couch!

I hope the box arrived safe and sound!  There is an Arts & Crafts show this Saturday I hope to go to!  Did stop in at 2 in Tucson -- professional -- type -- very expensive!  But very nice!  The stores don't like the competition from these upscale Arts & Crafts sales!  These stores are worried about a green ($$) Christmas!

Now Monday pm -- the troops (w/ their briefcases) will be back tomorrow -- hope all of you have a Happy & Healthy Thanksgiving!

Love,
RUK
