Update on Sr. Benedicta's health

Hello All. It's been a while since my last post. Sr. Aquinice called to ask me to share with all of you an update on Sr. Benedicta's situation. She was moved last weekend to a care facility that can take better care of her than they can at the convent.
Sr. B returned to the convent last December after her stroke in September, but, because of the resultant brain injury, she has been wandering around the convent and the care facility is designed to prevent residents from wandering outside. Sr. A says Sr. B can understand what you are saying to her in conversation but has difficulty responding to you.
The only TV programs Sr. B can follow are newscasts, which means she's up to speed on Rod Blagojevich's indictment and the scandal over Michelle Obama embracing Queen Elizabeth in London!
Sr. A wanted me to share with all of you the address of the care facility at which Sr. B is now residing. An Easter Card was suggested:

Arden Courts
7880 W. College Dr.
Palos Heights, IL 60463-1010

Sr. A says Tom Jonas brought his mother, Teresa, down to Chicago to see the nuns last Saturday, which was the day Sr. B was moved to Arden Courts.
The last time most of us saw Sr. B was at her 90th birthday lasy May in Milwaukee.
I hope you are all well. Tricia, Kathy and I celebrated St. Patrick's Day in an unusual way (and no, I don't mean we drank Bushmill's instead of Jameson's) by driving to Modesto, Calif., to see a performance of the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra, which was coming to the end of its U.S. tour. It was great!
Feel free to click on the "Comments" link to update us all on what you're up to.
Best to all.
Robert
