While Greg was gone today I baked rolls and then called Jake and Joan to take some out to them, Joan just loves them (as does Jake). Jake answered and told me that he would love to have me bring some out but that Joan is now in the nursing home at the hospital. When I was there he told me that she has hit the time when part of the time she is violent. She threw a cane at him and then fell. That was the day he admitted her to the hospital which resulted in her going to the home. He said he just can’t do it by himself anymore. His health is slipping too, back problems, eyes and intestinal so he needed to get help.
He said that Joan always knows him and he spends all morning with her, has lunch and then after a bit comes back home. I’m going to go see her tomorrow, if she knows me when I come that will be great but Jake said she probably won’t remember the visit the next day. Oh well. I want to go anyway.
Greg was offered two different classes to chose from, Accounting and Economics. He is to decide, fill in the form and return it to them with his choice. He thinks he’s going to teach the Accounting class first since it starts soonest and he wants to get the experience. The Economics class doesn’t begin until June or something. The school uses the same style that he was taught with in Chicago so he is really comfortable with it. He said he wants to be able to start looking at other schools in July and will be able to with William Penn on his vita.
He was also impressed with the President of the Adult Education College, he stressed the importance of teaching rather than putting all the focus on research which many schools do, they make their money with research I guess. But William Penn is teaching 500 or so adult students now and are planning on 2500 within the next couple of years. Quite a growth.
The weather has changed again. The news out of the Quad Cities tonight said the temperatures will be sub zero again tomorrow. Then, Monday there is a chance of snow and temps in the 20′s and by Wednesday it is supposed to be in the 30′s. Good grief!
I sent a site to you guys tonight where you can get free samples. I’ve gotten some from them so figured they are real and you might as well get some free stuff too.
I hope Bobbi and the kids are feeling better by now. She said she still had a couple that were feeling bunky when we visited yesterday. Now if Peanut can get better too it will certainly be a nice change for all!
