Last week, Mancos Town Administrator Andrea Phillips, called a meeting regarding Mancos Days. Ten of us were there. Most of whom worked at Mancos Days before the town took it over.<\/p>\n

It seems that the town has too much work and cannot manage Mancos any longer. The town has promised to help Mancos Days financially for three years. The group enthusiastically accepted the responsibility, and we want everyone who is interested in helping to know: We need you.<\/p>\n

We agreed we would meet to plan, to decide positions, and best of all, to see about bringing back the rodeo!<\/p>\n

We are looking forward to a great Mancos Days in 2017.<\/p>\n

Hospital food and nurses<\/div>\n

I am sitting in Room 2-something at Southwest Memorial Hospital and staring at my clear liquid breakfast. It is exactly the same as I served my patients in nurses training an eon ago. Chicken broth, tea, jello and juice. I think Florence Nightingale served the same during the Crimean War. David at the Absolute Bakery in Mancos could give them some new ideas.<\/p>\n

And Dave, the day I am out of here, I will be eating your Absolute Breakfast.<\/p>\n

(But I digress)<\/p>\n

As a registered nurse, I have met many people who have said, \u201cI hate hospitals, and I will never go to a hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

Usually those folks have never been admitted to a hospital.<\/p>\n

I went to the emergency room and met the happiest and friendliest people I have seen in a long time. After that, I was admitted, and spent a few days with the hospital\u2019s beautiful, happy and wonderful nurses. From the head nurse to the housekeeping staff, everyone is happy, kind and helpful.<\/p>\n

While I don\u2019t recommend becoming ill enough to be admitted to hospital, if you must go, this is the place to be.<\/p>\n
