Retirement Community. Although I'm on the board I've never visited
the expansive property in Tallahasee. Each staff member we met was
delightful and each resident so enthusiastic in describing the
property. But best of all were these three gifts:
1. A lovely lady pulled a beaded bracelet from the pouch on her
walker along with an explanation of what each bead means. This is my
first treasure of the trip.
2. Serendipity resulted in my meeting Dr. Charlotte Maguire, M.D., a
woman I've heard much about but had never met. We spent much of the
evening together and I am so inspired by not just her many
achievements but her simple grace. I encourage you to Google her name
to learn more about "Just Plain Charlotte," as she asked me to call her.
3. We were treated to a wonderful piano performance after dinner.
Our soloist performed her upcoming final recital for her M.A. at
Florida State. The performance was spectacular and the young lady was
charming and so informative about her chosen pieces.
The day was perfect aside from my anxiety about the next day's weather
report. Will I stick to the plan to camp if the expected thunderstorm
materializes? Check back soon to find out!
