Five Fragments on Friday....

1. I haven't mentioned how well our new volunteer did while I was away on our road trip. She is FANTASTIC!!  This is the first time in years that I came back from time off to find order and very little to catch up. She handled posting invoices and kept up with receipts and bank deposits! She had only a handful of things to ask about, and the only mistakes were ones she found herself that I had to fix. I only gave her very limited access to the accounting software, so she couldn't make any changes, once she posted something. I released some of the restrictions today. Not all, yet, but some. Her experience is in accounting and human resources, and it shows that she knows what she is doing. Her name is Marilyn, in case I mention her again!
   
2. My knees and my hip were really giving me some trouble, after sitting in the car for so many hours (I guess that's the reason). FINALLY, today I started feeling some relief. I've been wearing my BIG brace and using a cane for a few days, but I think I can finally walk normally tomorrow.
   
3. Friday is here already!! Usually a short week seems to go more slowly than a normal week, but (bless Marilyn) the week has been a breeze!
   
4. I went to the eye doctor yesterday. If you follow me on Facebook, too, you saw my post about being silly to make a morning appointment and having to work in sunglasses for several hours until my pupils returned to normal, after those wicked drops they use. I am happy that there was no change, though I would love some new frames. My vision insurance allows new glasses every year, so I may have to go shopping anyway..... I need something "kickier" to camouflage the black circles/bags subtle shadows under my eyes!  (I am Terri Kelly D'Orsaneo on Facebook, if anyone wants to connect.)  I do not post my blog through Facebook, though.
   
5. We are going back to Naples in two weeks, for Lauren's birthday party. Our granddaughter turns 25!! Hard to imagine.  We have missed seeing her for most of the last six years, while she was in college and working, in New Jersey, so getting to see her often is wonderful. I love those kids so much, and love being close enough to participate in their lives more often now. Makes me a very happy grandma.

That's my five fragments for this Friday! Thanks for stopping by. Thank goodness it's Friday!! Peace & blessings!
