So, today I had my first day on the cash register at Publix (supermarket). Wearing the requesite uniform (black slacks, white blouse, green vest and very ugly shoes) I am certain I appeare to be a big green and black elf. What's more, produce has about 1000 different numbers, none of which is familiar to me! The young girl, Mehgan, who was my trainer, was a delightful girl, but I still felt like the customers who came to my line, surely went away wondering why they let this old, slow woman work there. However, mostly they smiled understandingly. Perhaps I will get better. But, tomorrow I am flying to Cleveland to celebrate my 70th birthday. I return the 7th and go to work the 8th, so just pray I remember at least 1/2 of what I theoretically learned today!!
The condo, however, is starting to really look like I live here. As soon as I can get Shannon to show me how to post photos, I will show you.
Life is pretty good, and if Mike was just here to help me celebrate this milestone birthday (after all, I was around to help him celebrate his!!), it would be very nearly perfect. Barb is having a birthday party for me and I will fill you in on it when I return. Thanks for checking in - and happy birthday to me!!! Ricci
