And now for a lighter note...I guarantee you will enjoy this.
An elderly couple walked into the lobby of the Mayo Clinic for a checkup and spotted a piano. They've been married for 62 years and he turned 90 this year. Check out this impromptu performance...It's all attitude. Enjoy!!

14. I'll have to see it at home, site blocked at work, but I have seen
that piano in the lobby of the Mayo main building. There are sometimes scheduled groups of players, but often a passing doctor, nurse, or tech, or someone from the 'office' will just sit down and spontaneously play. I have always loved that. Can't wait to see video.

On a side note, we have been fortunate enough to have our medical care, mainly for spouse, and they do live up to their mission which was set by the Mayo Brothers~ "The needs of the patient come first". If you show up at the Mayo clinic and have no insurance or means of payment, they must take you in and treat you~it is in their charter. Most folks don't know that. We try to donate what we can to the "Good Samaritan" fund which helps pay for folks who can't pay. Anyway, it is a good place.

17. Yay!
Thank you! I now have a huge grin on my face.

I also applauded! My dogs have always known I'm nuts so no problem there except I woke them from their nap.

32. THAT is what it is ALL about!
All about love and forgiveness and justice and dignity and peace.
