Radiologic Technology Week is coming to a close.
My current boss believes in feeding us and gifting us!
She set up a table near her office and it was loaded with treats. And she made plans all week to feed us bagels, BBQ, ice cream, pizza, Tiff's Treats, Taco Cabana tacos, and a ton of candy. Plus, she had games out and awards prizes if you play. Everyone also got a tote bag with socks, a phone charger, stickers...we were all like little gleeful kids.
I met up with my college roomie this week to enjoy the beautiful weather and beer.
She has a lot going on, but never fails to make time to meet up. We talk about anything and everything and the hours always go by in a flash. Its been one of my favorite things to look forward to.
No matter how small a butternut squash I buy, it always seems too big. So I got the idea to toss half of it in the crockpot with onions, apples, chicken stock from the freezer, a bit of butter, and some seasonings. I cooked it on high for about 6 hours.
I used my immersion blender to make it creamy and it was delish with a grilled cheese and ham sammie on a night I did not feel like eating what I had on the menu. Some days are like that.
I am putting together a sentimental gift for the peeps - a Shutterfly calendar with rarely seen photos before the digital age. I say rarely seen because my kids never look through all these old albums. But man, were we all cutie patooties! I shed a happy tear or two. I hope they love them - Firstborn was just telling me he needs a paper calendar to keep up with everyone's birthday, ha ha.
Since that Pena print is hanging in the hallway at eye level I could see how dirty it was - on the inside! I don't know how that happened, but I was determined to clean it up.
I carefully removed it from the frame - it had been mounted on foam core board.
I think I may have spent more on the frame job than the actual print itself!
I love it so much in here - I admire it daily. Mark and I bought it at the Pecan Street Festival in Austin in 1988 and had Mr. Pena sign it right then and there. It will always remind me of when we were young, in love, and building our future together.
