I have orders coming, and knew the mail was bringing two packages today. I finally figured what one of them was but the other tracking number did not match any of my order numbers. Crazy me, I was trying to think what was I forgetting.
So this afternoon, the mail came...and look what the 'Unknown' package was:
It was this devotional by Susan Young. From 'the lady who used to write my paycheck.' That is a sort of joke. Oh, she did write the paycheck. But I always said that to her husband when he was trying to get me to take 'sides' with him over something. I always told him I would always choose the person who wrote my paycheck. Not the exact words...that has been so long ago and so much has happened since, that I don't remember exactly how I said.
I opened it up and half read first that it was from her, to me, then I scanned the introduction. And looked at the first page (January 1) and what should be the first verse:
What a verse to start the new year with.

We had so much fun at work...I wonder how many people think of their bosses with such love and fondness. I seriously doubt there is a week goes by that I don't think of them. Sometimes daily. There was love and caring as well as there were funny things that happened. It is the only place I ever had a stomach ache from laughing so hard.
When it was just me there, lots of times they would tell of their life when young. I would give anything if I had came home and written down the stories I heard there. Mrs. D was raised by her grandparents, and Mr. D's mom and dad had a boarding house and restaurant. I remember lots of bits and pieces, but it is not like hearing them talk about them.

I will leave you with a recent photo my daughter sent me of the pup and Delta.
He is growing like a weed. How they both fit on the couch is more than I know. Delta is a big dog...I think she weighs aroud 90 lbs. I forget what Copper weighs. But though he is skinny, he is not little. I get tickled every time I look at this photo.
