The Gulf is nice!

We walked on the white sand. The weather is a bit chilly but the water feels nice. There appears to be many empty horseshoe crab shells (don't know the real name yet). I will research the reason for all of the empty shells. Collecting a lot of other shells. Great pictures will share on Wednesday. Connie Sue excited about all there is to do!

Going to the Gulf

Planning to spend quality time at the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. Down around Shell Point. Hope to get some great pictures to share. Connie Sue off for something fun to do!

Discovery Cruise Line to Freeport

Counting the days until I am in Grand Bahamas, November 14 & 15. Just taking a quick weekend cruise to catch up with old friends and get a check on the economy. Planning to take a group back in a few months and need to scout out hotel and fun things to do. It's been a while and I simply miss the friendly people and beautiful waters. The Conch Salad is calling my name. My mouth waters as I think of the fresh conch being pulled from the shell and beaten, seasoned and cut in preparation for the salad. Fresh bell peppers, onions, lime, and a secret seasoning which includes salt and pepper to taste. My mind goes forward to the crisp sardines mixed with bell peppers, onions, lime and seasonings served over grits I always have for breakfast. Another favorite is the Johnny Cake fresh from the oven with butter spead and melting on the cake. Yes it is not just the peoples, blue green waters, or mild temperatures, it is the food. Of course I could go on for hours and hours. As you can tell I love this place. Will keep you updated. Connie Sue always preparing for something fun to do!

Hello World! I'm Back!

It is simply amazing, the more I have to do the more I seem to accomplish. I once heard someone say, "if you want something done, give it to a busy person". Well that is me. Today I begin my new semester at Capella taking two classes; Grant Writing and The Epistemology of Practice Knowledge. Impressive? We will see. Actually I am very excited, as most of you know I love learning. As I said here I am writing while actually completing some initial assignments.

Oh I think I get here. When I am online in my courseroom and get a little bored I take a break and blog. Does anyone know where I can get a reasonable statue of "The Thinker". Can't reveal all of the projects I am currently involed in, however before the year ends you will know.

Here I go again, Connie Sue always looking for something new to do!

Survey is over one more task completed

Today our annual survey is officially over. The resurvey process consists of two or more surveyors returning to check corrected or changed items. We as administrators never quite agree with survey findings so we battle between the team leader and administrator and come to some sense of agreement. Then we both laugh and agree to the resurvey process. Anyway today it was officially over and I am very glad. Now I can move on to a couple of other tasks that must be completed. Applying for license renewal and completing new Medical Director Agreement. This job has over the years grown into a big "bear". But we all do what we must do.

I must admit I love the frail elderly population it is just all of the rules and regulations and the other stuff that wears one out. Well this week marks the end of my class at Capella and I am happy. However, there are many things that I must get done. Of course some are things that I am not able to share here as they involve other family members and well I had better be cool.

Well off to my big corporate meeting tomorrow and trying to adjust to daylight saving time. I am tired and sleepy now 12:06 a.m. This has got to get better. Usually I am in bed fast asleep by this time but with the changes well anyway here I sit.

Good night for now. See you soon!

One Week Left

Well I have one discussion area left and this quarter is over at Capella. I am so very ready. After this I will take a break and do some soul searching. This year has started off with a real bang. Survey preparation, survey, budget preparation, license renewal, license audit (never had one of those before), change of marketing director, death of 2 key employees close family members, on and on.

Good news though I have scheduled a cruise to Grand Bahama for Easter Weekend, can't wait. I have to get to the sea. I need to rediscover me. When I return I will get to writing I promise myself. I have been listening to some spoken word poetry, think I will try that.

I like President Obama's style. Go get them Mr. President, US will return strong. With a leader of his caliber we cannot go wrong.

Nitey night!
