Yesterday (Monday), I had my interview with Karen at Tea Thyme. They had their Grand Opening last Saturday for the tea room and it was also open on Sunday. Over the weekend, Karen and Lynn realized they will need more help, so they are giving me more hours. As a result, I will be working twenty-two hours at Tea Thyme and about sixteen hours at Seaquist. It’s a nice blend of jobs. Continue reading

An interesting turn of events
Tuesday and Wednesday were my days off, and that’s when I did all the job hunting I wrote about in my last post. I believe I have been hired at Tea Thyme In Door County which is owned by the women that live across the street from us. I’m to meet with Karen on Monday morning at 10:00 to firm that up a bit. So far, they are talking about needing me for ten hours a week in the mornings. Continue reading
Some intriguing possibilities
Yesterday I went through the rest of the ads I saw in the Help Wanted section of The Pulse. I finished contacting all the ones that had looked like possibilities for me. Not that they all responded, but I had gone through all the known jobs. Continue reading
Giftedness

Progress!
Mark picked me up at work this evening and brought me home. This is unusual because I have usually been getting a ride home with one of my co-workers named Kat, but she had to work later than me this evening. Mark had to get back to work after he dropped me off, but first he and I had a look at our back yard. Continue reading
Feathering our nest
My friends, Kathryn and Judy, came over this morning and picked me up to go thrift shopping. Judy had given me a gift certificate at Bargains Unlimited for a housewarming gift so I asked her to help me spend it! Continue reading
God’s bounteous gifts
This morning dawned a bright and beautiful day. I believe it actually got up into the early 70’s today. We went to Friends Community Church where there were representatives from the Gideon Bible Society speaking. I suggested they talk to my boss who usually puts out Bibles for people to take free if they want. Continue reading
Time with my son
I was too tired to write last night after I finished processing all the pictures I took during the day, so I’m catching you up now.
