The “pie room” at St. Adrian is almost complete. During the renovation a card that was tacked up 47 years ago by Kay Cox to remind people that the shelves had been made by Henry Heitkamp and Jack Bullerman. The card was laminated and is now part of the Church’s historical artifacts. Thanks Kim Kunkel for saving the card!
Adrian Country Living Cottages is going to celebrate eight years! Thanks to the foresight of the city administrators, the HRA, the steering committee, and many others we have a great facility right here in Adrian for elder care. The quality of care is great, and the staff is dedicated to the comfort and care of the residents. Karen Rye, the director of the facility is dedicated to providing programing for the residents. This past Wednesday, Karen had Barb Atchinson, from Rural Brewster came and entertain residents and some guests with over an hour of Irish songs.
Visiting with Kay Cox for St. Patrick’s Day was her son, Mark Cox and daughter, Mary (Cox) Taylor. They drove down from the cities to see their mother and to join in the St. Pat’s day festivities. Kay accompanied her grandson Mitchell, his wife Kayla and their three children, Marshall, Mason and Merritt, for a drive through the St. Patrick’s Day Parade along with other “Irish” families. After the parade, they were invited to Alan and Cindy Cox’s house for pizza.
Spring is here! Let’s hope for warmer spring weather. Watch for the tulips. They’ll be making an entrance soon!
Thought for the week: Always try to leave people better that you found them. Hug the hurt. Kiss the broken. Befriend the lost. Love the lonely!
