Ahh. . . Saturday morning!

I allowed myself the luxury of making a second pot of coffee this morning. There is something about sitting in the quiet comfort of my home. . . well, "quiet comfort" doesn't include a 50 pound Lab that decides to take residence in my lap as I drink my coffee. . . but anyway, drinking coffee chases away the stress and anxiety of everyday life. My first day of my new job went well yesterday. I'll just be glad when I get past being the new kid on the block. . . learn everyone's name and what their job is, learn to do my job without instruction, not to mention get my work area looking like ME! Hey, if it took several days to remove all my personal items from my old job, it's going to take awhile to get set up with my framed pictures of my children and grandchildren, my jade plant, and all the other "stuff" that makes me feel comfortable! I am excited that I have a big window to enjoy while sitting at my desk. There are acres and acres of trees that I can watch change colors as fall progresses.

In talking with my new boss yesterday, we discovered that we have a long time mutual friend in Robert Lauterbach - they used to work together at RG&E years ago and still stay in contact. Robert and Nancy and I go back a long way.
