    I just have one more day to work! Then, begins the real work of finishing up the packing. Moving day starts the Friday after Thanksgiving and concludes on December 2nd or 3rd when we turn in the truck in Texas. Last night at work they had a party for me. Every one said such nice things. Here are a few pictures. Not too many though, I wouldn't want to fill up the whole forum. dooley

    The lady in orange was my supervisor and the lady behind her is our evening supervisor. She's just back from 3 months off because of a motorcycle accident.[​IMG]
    Hope you enjoyed the party. dooley

    Dooley the cake was delicious! How sweet it was for them to throw a party for you. But I know you certainly deserved it. At least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it is not a train!! :D Looking forward to meeting you when you get to Texas. ;)

    What a nice party---and those co-workers--weren't they terrific. You (and we) could see how much they appreciated you as a collegue. It must have been so nice for you.
    I could hardly contain myself when I say the scrumptous-looking food. :p

    I worked there two and a half years. But, I'm one of those people who can't sit idle and do nothing. So, if I had my work done I offered to help anyone who needed help. We had a seminar in teamwork but the people at the library didn't need it. We worked as a team all of the time. It was a great place to work. I will truly miss working there and I will more than miss the people, especially the evening crew. I've promised pictures of us in our rocking chairs on the front deck. The town manager ask if I liked working there and the people were so great why was I quitting. I told him it was a bit far to commute from Texas. dooley

    What a nice party. I am sure they will really miss you. Find time to your feet up before the big move. I don't envy you that. Moving is a lot of work. I wish you lots of love and friends in your new place.
