May have bitten off too much

^{This was a LONG time ago}
Oh dear, I hope I haven't stepped out too far.
Last week while at Ace Hardware in Smyrna, I was talking with a young man, told him about my playing music in Assisted Livings etc. That I hadn't played much and was thinking about retiring from it.
He said "Oh please don't stop, my mom is in Woodland Ridge up the street, the AD there plays the harp (bells going off) but they really need people to come in and lift spirits."
What is the AD's name? (I asked) He said he thought it was Kathryn, but couldn't remember the last name.
I thought for maybe20 seconds and asked him "Is it Kathryn Trice"?
Yeah! That is it.
So I gave him my card.
I met her many years ago when the West Cobb Arbor Terrace was there (It has changed names a couple of times.)
Yesterday, I got an email from her:

I agreed and sent her an invoice today
