Friday Foto Fun...

 

I actually have some new photos to share this week!  Wow!!

My new boss had me visit the office on Wednesday afternoon so
he could show me around and I could turn in all the paperwork
I had to fill out.  Tons of paperwork, including my college transcript

which I had to pay $8.50 for because I can't find the one I was given back in 2002!

He drove me all around the parklands and told me lots of facts I 

don't remember.  There are 22 lakes on the 8,300 acres. There are

fishing lakes, boating lakes, an ADA lake for the physically challenged.

There is a lake just for bank fishing and one for kids only.

Seven miles of hiking trails; seven miles of horseback riding trails.

All of that while driving on rough dirt roads in his 4-wheel drive truck.

The only place we got out was at Lake Coronet. 

This lake is "full of gators"... his words.  We did see one swimming

but you can't see it in my pictures.

Permits are required to use the park but they are only $3.00 per person.

The park is only open to the public from Friday - Sunday.

I am so excited about working there!!  The office is far away

from this lake full of gators and most of the others, but near the shooting range

and the hiking trail.  I imagine I will try the hiking trail after work one day.

If you can read the sign below, Joe's Tax Service, I had to chuckle because

so many people in town would ask my Joe if that was his office.  Not.

But it IS my current boss's accountant and I talked him into going

there yesterday to meet with John and get his help in finishing the work

I got started on straightening out the books.  I have most of the answers

for him and hope he can make the changes that still need to be made.

There is a new person starting today (my last day) but I have some

reservations about her QuickBooks experience.  Fingers crossed

because I really care about Ed and his business.  It has been a 

gruelling month and I am ready to move on to something a bit more fun.

Last Tuesday, I went to dinner with my old neighbors,

Bob & Sharon (next to me) and Tim and Judy.

Bob and Sharon were back in town to pick up a new puppy.

I got to meet little Poppy, too, but don't have a picture.

Dachsund babies are so cute!  It was fun catching up with them.

These next aren't my photos. I took them from Facebook but

I am so proud of our nephew, Julian, who just became a Major

in the Marine Corps.  This is him with his sweet wife and

their two handsome little men.

Julian is the son of Joe's younger brother who died last year,

during COVID (but not from COVID).  If you remember from

my posts, you know Nick's wife, Debbie (Julian's mom) is

also fighting cancer.  She is not doing well but I am so happy to

see that she got to join them for the celebration.

This is at Nick's grave, in Arlington.  He was also a Marine.

Julian is stationed at Quantico right now.

So, today is my last day at American Compressor.  Tomorrow I am traveling up to Joey and Darlene's, in Brunswick, GA.  My friend, Mary Jane, is house & cat-sitting for me.  She came by yesterday to visit a while and see the cats.

AND.... guess what!!!  I am having dinner tomorrow night with blogging friend Sparky and her hubby!!  They are meeting Joey, Darlene, and me at a steak and seafood restaurant that they like.  I am always so excited to meet blogging friends in person!! There will be pictures!! If you aren't familiar with Sparky, you can visit her blog HERE.

Prayers, please, for...

Peace & hugs!  Jesus loves us!!
