Last week when I went to meet with Liuda for an English lesson, I met her daughter driving her out of the driveway. Liuda had forgotten I was coming. Her daughter had a day off work and had offered to take her to the DMV to get her learner’s permit. Liuda passed! Continue reading

Yesterday (July 4th), Mark and I worked so hard that I wasn’t up to writing last night, but I have pictures to show how we spent our day off work. Continue reading
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
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

I had saved about $600 from my pay at H&R Block with which to get furniture. I figured it might be enough to get me a dining room table and chairs, and hopefully a small dresser as well. I asked my friend, Judy Boldt, a thrift shopper extraordinaire and the president of my Wisconsin fan club, to take me thrift shopping. She has spent the last two days taking me to thrift stores from Sturgeon Bay to Sister Bay. Continue reading
