My Graduation

I became unemployed in February 2009 with not a single job insight that I qualified for, and still had a daughter at home. I live in a small energy dependent town.   I wasn’t sure how I was going to support us.  I went to a seminar that the job service was giving for people that might want to further their education in hope of being more marketable.  At 54 years old, the day is finally here! Tomorrow I graduate from college with a Associate of Applied Science Degree and honors, who would have known.  Last time I was in a College situation, I was 19 years old, that was a long time ago.
Now the job hunt is on!

Have a Great Day!

May Day

It all started when I was in elementary school, making may baskets filled with flowers to give to my friends and neighbors.  Now that I’m quite a bit older, I send cards to my friends and neighbors. Did you send flowers or a card  to someone today?

Have a Great Day!
