As I have mentioned before, I am retiring TOMORROW! Anyway we were hoping the gal who is part time along side me this last year would get my job. Unfortunately it is not to be. It is a union thing and they say she is not even being looked at even though she knows the school, the kids, the routine and exactly how to do my job for the most part. Before we found out that she was not going to get it, I made her a card. She was admittedly nervous about taking it all on but I knew that with some help she would get though it. The card is made with an old stamp I had to borrow from my friend, Joanne. Of course I found mine a couple of days later. The paper is from my stash and is 2 sided. I paper pieced her clothes. On the inside I had a stamp that said, " I'll have a Cafe-Mocha Vodka-Vallium Latte to go, please." She loved it and I thought it was perfect for the occasion.
I hope you are all having a wonderful three day weekend. If you see a soldier today please tell him thank you for his service. This includes past and present. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our Military.
Until next time, Happy trails to you
Sheri

Good luck, Sheri! I know you will enjoy retiremtne! Just a word of warning though - it does take some time to get accustomed to the idea! Love your card - the sentiment on the inside sounds delightful too! I think I need that - thanks for sharing ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that your final day has arrived. So sorry about the gal not getting the job to replace you. Sometimes it seems life just isn't fair..........but maybe something better is in store for her. Enjoy your last day and better yet enjoy all the wonderful free time you are going to have now!!!

ReplyDeleteYou will enjoy your retirement. I know someone who is a social worker and she uses the word "entirement". I love that coffee saying.
