Huh, now I'm wondering if that was the org. my grandma belonged to. I'd never heard of it until my dad and his siblings mentioned it at her funeral. They were always so curious as to what it stood for, and she absolutely refused to say. I can't remember the initials they mentioned, but that could have been it! Will have to ask my dad.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

I have never heard of the PEO before. Learn something new every day.
Dinner update: both kids refused to try either rice or spicy peanut sauce, both of which were delicious. Imma have rice and peanut sauce for lunch tomorrow--it was that good!

Huh. They sound likeable:

I've known women who had PEO scholarships.

Because books.
I've never heard of PEO. Which is not surprising, I guess.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd never heard of PEO, either.

The P.E.O. Sisterhood is passionate about its mission: promoting educational opportunities for women.
The dean of a university that is lackadaisical about making sure women have equal academic opportunities wakes abruptly. Someone's in his bedroom, a masked woman. "The Sisterhood has been watching, Dean. You've slashed the budget for scholarships outside of the athletic department again."
"Martha? Honey, is that you?"
The woman disappeared into the shadows, leaving only those ominous letters on the wall: P.E.O.

awesome, Connie.
So Dad's got a bladder infection, sigh. They're really common in the elderly, and contribute to dementia. He seems okay, though. Still, we're taking him to Chicago/Wisconsin for a week, and I suspect it's going to be a stressful time.

I've never heard of PEO!
I do not understand why some days I run and it's not so bad (I mean, it still sucks, in that it's running, but...) and other days I can only do a fraction of what I could the time before! It makes no sense. :(
