Change is in the Wind

Yesterday we decided to go to the movies. We saw "House Bunny". It was a cute story that was pure entertainment. The later in the evening we watched Big Mamma's House" on television. It was a good story that was enjoyable to watch. Other than that we just chilled out.

Today, Wednesday, Dee was called to start work today. While she went to work, I talked with my doctor and learned that the glucose test I took sometime ago came back with a good report. I just need to continue trying to raise my good cholesterol HDL. I went golfing at Treesdale for 18 holes with another ranger. It was a beautiful day (cool in the morning but warmed up nicely for the afternoon).

Here's a pic of Tim Bowser and son, Conner at the Rotary Picnic...

Afterward I went to the Rotary picnic in Butler. We sponsored a picnic for the mental health agencies in the area. (I understand Rotary does this every year.) There were about 150 clients there for the picnic plus all the Rotarians who cooked and served the meal. We had hot dogs and fresh corn on the cob along with orange drink, and cookies. Afterward everyone played Bingo and had the chance to win some of the many prizes made avaialbe for the games. I even saw Dee's nephew Larry there with his parents (Ruthie and El). It was a nice surprise seeing them there.

When I got home, Dee had just finished working for her first 8 hour shift on the job. She said she enjoyed the work, but that it was chilly in the store and she was on her feet the whole day. She also said the people she worked with were nice to work with. Today was the "soft opening" of the store. We'd heard from Kerri a couple of days ago. She told us that she got a "promotion" of sorts because a new position opened up in her company and she applied for it and got it. She's also applying for a Project Manager Certificate through the University of MD. It requires about 5 courses and the courses could be applied toward an MBA in the future if she decides to do that. Her company recommended her for the course work and will foot the bill. Nice.

I heard from Treesdale. They said that they'll no longer put "Rangers" on a weekly schedule since were getting into fall. They'll call on an as needed basis. However, I can still golf all I want to. PTL!
