Breakfast with Keith, then I went up and finally spent time on various paperwork, financial stuff, filing, and so on until lunchtime. Had that with Keith, Kathie, and Bee. I was amazed to find that Bee was born in Linwood, N.J. and had lived there until she was three when the family moved to upstate Pennsylvania. She was one of nine children and went all through Catholic schools; she's still very RC.
Ani O'Leary, Duane's lady, texted me with this:
She followed that with several texts, asking me to come and saying I was special to Duane and that she'd arrange everything if I would. I've decided I would, although I'll have to take the walker and I'm a little apprehensive about that.
Took a nap, continue what I think of as my business-type working, then hung out until 4:45 when I went down to dinner. Sat with Kathie, Keith, and Bee and we had a good, congenial time. Back upstairs by 6:00 and topped off this blog, then watched T.V. until bedtime. Not exactly an exciting day, but Julie's picking me up for the BCNN lunch at the Black Angus at 10:45 today, so that should be fun.

Rosemary, are Breakfast, lunch and dinner offered at The Orchards? Also do you sit anywhere? We have to make reservations in the dining room but open seating in our Bistro. All of our servers are local high school kids and no way would be out of the dining room at dinner in less than almost 2 hours.
Yes, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served every day in the dining room. Interestingly, our servers are also mostly--not all, because I know Dun-Loni is 28 and head server Bianchi is probably in her fifties--are either in high school or college. BTW, they also do the cleaning once a week--just floors and bathroom, they don't dust or move anything. We have no bistro, but the gathering room is where the parties, happy hour and so on with food and drink, are held. As for the length of time you have to spend on meals, it's probably not as long as two hours, but maybe an hour, sometimes longer. I think the system is inefficient and will talk to Tiffany sometime, which I doubt will change anything. The food is edible, some pretty good, but often so-so. The coffee is excellent. Chef Michael comes out often to announce additions to the menu and take suggestions.
