Duska

Although this is actually one of the last in the series, it will usefully serve as an introduction to what I have labelled in my head as the Room 559 series. The next week or more will show you the people who came to visit my mother (in that room) this weekend while I was visiting her. She has a large private room with a lovely northwest-facing window which cast a lovely light all day long. The White Mountains were visible through most of my stay. I meant to ask Duska where her name derives from. Perhaps Russian? Maybe she'll send an email to let me know. She was one of the many caring nurses who took care of my mother.
