Almost

It is almost April and the ending of yet another year for me. Where has all the time gone and who is this grey haired old guy looking back at me in the mirror? It seems like just yesterday I had little ones running up to me when I came home. All of our kids are scattered across the country, now we only see little ones when the kids bring the grand kids for a visit.

 With the passing of dad last year and mom suffering from Alzheimers not knowing anyone, I find myself remembering times passed. I will never forget the closeness we shared as a family. I was truly blessed with the greatest parents ever!

Spring has "Sprung"

Here in Texas spring has arrived and everything is beginning to turn green. It was time to remove the make shift green house that enclosed our pack porch and open everything back up. The job of taking it down was much easier that putting it up. Hopefully we can salvage and store most of it with no problem until our next cold season. Linda has been working on a humming bird garden which we were able to get into shape this afternoon. The bird bath that was out front has been moved to the back as part of it. She has been on the Internet and researching anything that attracts humming birds and has been busy planting. Only time will tell if we were successful or not. One thing is for certain, if you want something to grow, have Linda stick it in the dirt.

Last Day in Food Industry

Finally finished working through my notice and leaving the food industry. Super stoked and ready for a change. New boss already texting me and telling me we are 120% of budgeted sales for the month with a huge potential customer still to possibly sign. Given approval to hire eight more people in the center and I haven't even started my first day. It looks like my first assignment is going to be interviewing and hiring. I am looking forward to the new challenges from this opportunity.
