Hi all!
I can't believe how many new folks are on here now! I have been going through posts all morning and there is no way I can comment on them because there are so many but suffice it to say, I have enjoyed looking at all the new work!
Lots going on but the same old story. David and I work for the same company. Sold a few years ago to a very large company that is not in the same industry we are in. Then they acquired a larger company in a similar but not the same industry and had us move in with them. Now they are trying to realign all of us and they are chopping as they go without understanding our business. The long and the short of it is that we are half the size we were when this all began and they are cutting people and the cuts are not good ones. We heard rumor that my husband would be on the next list of layoffs so he has found another job and is waiting for his clearance to be transferred and then will give his 2 weeks. The next round of layoffs will be in August from what rumor says and so far, all rumors have been accurate. Hope I can hang on!
Well, on to better things; I have a garden this summer that is killing me! Between weeds, bugs and having to keep up with harvesting everything, I have no time! I spent all of yesterday preparing tomatoes for sauce and I will can it today. Dehydrated potatoes I dug all of yesterday as well. Have to work on blanching and freezing squash today. In between all of this, I have only made a few cabs for gifts and cut a bunch of preforms that I will have to post.
My husband had to get another car for his new job (we loved that we could carpool before but now in 2 different directions as soon as the new job starts) and I made the comment that I didn't want his personal plate on the car I would use and he ordered me this:
Once I saw that, I realized I couldn't stay away any longer.
