Coming back traffic wasn't horrible but I really don't know how people stand to do it everyday.
The clouds were a tease, no rain

I remained hooked on the dark meat for the next 8 years.

Secretary Landgraf joined Sen. Tom Carper in visiting Westminster Village Dover on Feb. 8 to discuss the community’s elimination of antipsychotic drugs within its healthcare center for long-term stay residents with dementia. Westminster Village Dover is a Continuing Care Retirement Community that offers advanced supportive care services to seniors, in addition to independent living.
Sen. Carper and Secretary Landgraf, along with DHSS’ Medical Director Dr. Gerard Gallucci, visited with staff, residents, family and Sally Jennings, project coordinator of Quality Insights of Delaware, to learn more about how the healthcare center reduced the use of antipsychotic drugs among residents receiving care for dementia and other cognitive deficiencies. Director of Nursing Elsie Josiah discussed how the center used a multi-dimensional, person-centered approach to reduce the use of unnecessary antipsychotic medications through behavioral monitoring tools, standardized reporting and tracking, enhanced staff training and regular examination of quality measures.
Westminster Village Dover recently reported antipsychotic drug usage rates below the state and national average as determined by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Westminster Village reports 0.0 percent of its long-term stay residents receive antipsychotic drugs.
Most recent data from CMS shows that the average prevalence of antipsychotic use by long-term nursing home residents in Delaware is 12.8 percent; while the national average is 17.3 percent. Among all states, CMS ranked Delaware seventh for the reduced use of antipsychotic medications for long-term nursing home residents during the third quarter of 2015.
“It is extraordinary to see how Westminster values the individuals and their needs,” Secretary Landgraf said. “From touring the center, it is clear to me that the one-on-one relationships that Westminster staff members have with the residents helps to keep residents engaged in all aspects of daily living. The residents are happy, the families are happy and the staff are happy.”
During their visit, Sen. Carper and Secretary Landgraf also visited with residents and patients to learn more about the positive impact resulting from the reduction.
“Caring for seniors, especially those who suffer from dementia is a difficult job – and a sacred one,” Sen. Carper said. “We all want to know that our loved ones are receiving the quality of care and personalized attention they deserve from the professionals to whom we entrust their care. The proactive and team-based approach Westminster Village Dover has taken to significantly reduce the use of antipsychotic medication for those with dementia has had a profound effect on the quality of life for these Delaware residents and their families. I will continue to work with our partners in the State, the Administration, and my colleagues in Congress to see that medical providers, nursing homes, and caregivers have the guidance, flexibility and resources in place to provide safe and effective care and attention to our nation’s elderly.”
The Dover skilled nursing and rehabilitation center also holds a 5-star rating from CMS.
Westminster Village is part of the Presbyterian Senior Living network and currently provides care for 59 residents and patients in its healthcare center. The health center is undergoing a renovation and will begin to admit transitional care and short-stay rehabilitation patients. Westminster Village is a Continuing Care Retirement Community that provides senior living services to about 250 individuals, including residential living, assisted living, skilled nursing and rehabilitation.

Heehee, i was in the middle of a house cleaning and my "recycle" basket ended up in the picture. So here we go:
Reduce: Support TNR to reduce euthanasia by spaying and neutering feral cats and reducing the population!
Reuse: Return spayed/neutered cats to their colony instead of new ones moving in!
Recycle: Adopt a cat or kitten from a shelter, rescue, the street, or a TNR group!

Senator Carlo Leone testifies before the Veterans' Affairs Committee regarding his bill to reduce the fee for state trapping, hunting and fishing licenses for veterans while Afghanistan veteran Daniel Laffin looks on. Laffin and another combat-wounded veteran later testified in support of Senator Leone's bill, which he hopes will help reduce the symptoms of PTSD.

This Hobbit hole is about 60% of full size. It was made smaller so that when Gandalf passed by, the wizard would be larger than than in real life.
One of the 44 Hobbit Holes on the set. A scene from our tour of the Hobbiton set, made famous in the "Lord of the Rings" movie series. Located on the Alexander Sheep Farm near Matamata, New Zealand, the 12 acre movie set is a must-see for fans and is a delight for those who aren't familiar with the movies, too. 44 permanently constructed Hobbit Holes are on the site, as well as the Green Dragon Inn. Anything outside of a Hobbit Hole is artificial; a prop for the movie.
It was springtime in the Shire when we visited. Baby Lambs were bounding everywhere.

The Making of Rodin
(May – November 2021)
Working at the turn of the 20th century, Auguste Rodin broke the rules of classical sculpture to create an image of the human body that mirrored the ruptures, complexities and uncertainties of the modern age.
This major exhibition is the first to focus on the importance of plaster in his work. Although Rodin is best known for his bronze and marble sculptures, he himself worked as a modeller, who captured movement, light and volume in pliable materials such as clay and plaster.
This presentation evokes the atmosphere of the artist’s studio. Plasters casts in all sizes show how he continually experimented with fragmentation, repetition and joining existing parts in unconventional ways. Some of his best-known works were influenced by this process, including The Burghers of Calais, which is represented here by the newly restored original plaster.
With the process of making at its heart, the exhibition also considers the complex dynamics of the workshop, as well as between the artist and his models and collaborators, including fellow sculptor Camille Claudel, the Japanese actress Ohta Hisa, and the German aristocrat Helene Von Nostitz.
