Oh No! A Grad Student in the Family

Well, Mrs. RSI is officially a graduate student at the University of Kentucky. Yesterday was her last day of work as a school nurse with the Gateway Health District. Mrs. RSI got a touching send-off from her school. The nurse who replaced her got all 200 kids in the elementary school to sign a card and then presented it in a school assembly.

I'm not usually big for sentiment, but I must say that Mrs. RSI is well deserving.

Later, we had a nice gathering with friends and their children on the patio of the local Italian restaurant and just talked about stuff. It turned out that one of our friends was a shot-putter in high school just like me.

I knew there was something special about her.

This morning, Mrs. RSI went off to her first class in the Masters in Nursing program at the University of Kentucky in Lexington sixty miles away. Before she left, the girls and I admonished her that she needed to "make good choices" while she was at school.

Then, she was on her way.
