Catching up

It’s been a LONG week. Both here and down in Sacramento.
Our family said our last good-bye’s to Grandpa Thursday. It sounds like it was a very nice time remembering him.
Here, we’ve been busier than a one armed paper hanger in a windstorm it seems…
We were at friends houses both Monday and Tuesday nights, church Wednesday night and then trying to catch up with work stuff Thursday night. Last night Anthony went on a Royal Ranger camp-out and we finished unloading a bed that our new friends at church (the associate/youth pastors Chris and Jeannie) gave us for Anthony. He’s going to love it.
This last week was also the week of the perfect storm for Denise in her looking for work. She had interviews at 3 different places and all three offered her a job and all were the same money. Benefits were the deciding factor and since I have great insurance, she took the one that seemed like the best fit with the most flexibility. She’s working her North Pole Coffee Roasting Co. as the office administrator. I can’t wait for the samples to start flowing in…
I’m enjoying work a lot, but amazed at the lack of urgency and customer service concerns. Again, I think it is the “Alaska time” thing – they are just a WHOLE lot more laid back than I’m used to.
Well, that’s it for now. More to come I’m sure….

Wow. Beautiful pictures. I am excited for Denise’s new job. I imagine there’ll be lots of free samples.
Good for you!
The pictures turned out great! I’m also excited for Denise. Sounds like she got herself a great job. If, by chance, you feel like sending a sample down this direction… I’m always up for trying coffee blends.
Great to see the new entry. Sounds like everything is coming together for you all. God Bless
Great pics and I’m now officially jeloous. You have a direct connect to a coffee house. MMM fresh brewed strong smooth blend. I miss It’s a Grind and refuse to go to Starbucks. we have a good local in Shingle.
