Company picnic 2023

Mindy rode with me over to Ada, Okla. we always have a good visit on our road trips.  I enjoy her company and we never stop talking about life events.

This was from The wandering pig.  It was so very good. 

I am taking home a pizza home because everyone says they are amazing.  I’ve already ate till I am full. Food trucks speaks to my inner child.  I have yet to find a food truck that wasn’t delish.

Mindy and I enjoying the music and conversation around us.

Whitney and I are thinking what food truck is next on our list..

Brian and Heather enjoying the food and friendship with our work peeps. Heather is going to hate this picture of herself.  But I think it was the only one I took of them while at picnic.

Our manager Sherry and Mindy.

Danny and Sherry looking around to see who they can say hello to at picnic.  I really enjoy our company picnics. This is Mindy’s food she is taking back home tonight. 

I didn’t take pictures of the inflatables, face painting, the musicians, tug of war and such.  I got busy and was living in the moment.  

The Company picnic was held at our corporate office in Ada Okla.  It’s about 1 1/2 hours from Duncan, Okla.   So not a bad drive at all.  The worst part is driving back home in the dark. Oklahoma roads have lots of deer crossing so that kinda scares me. 

 

Pedi day

Meet Shelby and Whitney at Pro Nails.  I so needed the pedicure my feet was so rough.  This is not my regular nail technician.  She really hurt my cuticles.  I never had this issue at Jon’s shop.  I think for me I am used to how Jon and his team take care of my feet and me. 

 

Went with a brown fall color for toes.  Went outside my comfort zone.  I tend to stick to pinks.

Pro Nails was so busy Saturday.  Our appointments was at noon.  I waited 45 minutes before they got me in a chair.  Wasn’t mad about wait as we talked and cut up during the wait time.

Tell me that I am not the only one who can’t handle the cheese grater on the soles of the feet.  It literally takes my breath away when they start scrubbing the bottoms of my feet. 

Was nice to hang with the girls outside of work.  Even if I’m the Nana.  Hope we will try to do this monthly.  Would give me something to look forward to on weekends.

 

1st day of school 2023

These kiddos are growing up right before my eyes!  

Wesley,Angel and Clifford. 

 

Kyndall came to visit.

Kyndall is growing up way too fast.  Her Moma and her are staying the weekend with us.  Anytime I get with her makes me so happy.  Our little bench is about to be way small for her.  Will use it till our littles outgrow it.  Love using it for photo prop.  

This fall I will decorate it with a couple of fall mums and such.

I really need to take the wreath down and redo it.  Am leaning towards colorful birds and butterfly’s.  Need to be more creative. 

Love the personalized blankets and gifts.  Am thinking it would be good gifts for the 10 grandchildren. More for birthday gifts.  Need to do some research on them. 

Kyndall was still sleepy this morning .  So I let her sleep as long as wanted.  Although I wanted to squeeze in as much time with her as possible. 

 

Nikki’s baby shower

Nikki and me

Lots of food and fun.  The street tacos were a huge hit. I would say we had lots of food for any age. We had several young ones who loved the hot dogs.

My friends Mindy and Nikki

Nikki and Sam got so many baby items.  Was a great baby shower.

I worked with Nikki for a few months.  She has the kindest sweetest personality I have ever met.  Sure missed her once she left.  Was nice to catch up with her as well meeting her family.

 

Kiddie Land

Michelle called and asked if I would meet them at Kiddie Land in Duncan Okla tonight.  So I could watch baby Max.  That way Wesley and Clifford could ride rides. Michelle could ride some rides with them as well.  

Aaron and Angel came for about a hour.  She had a softball game at 7pm.  Our weather was hot about 90 degrees this afternoon. So not ready for the summer to be here.  The heat always gets me.

Baby Max trying to figure out what Nana is doing with him in the park.  

How cute is Max?  He is very much loved by his siblings and the rest of us.   I hadn’t been to Kiddie Land in years.  Brought back memories of when I took my boys.  Am glad I could watch these grandkids enjoy the same park as their dad did when he was a young boy. 

 

5 year award at work.

I can not tell you how much this award means to me.  When I started working here I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it the first month.  So many elements to this call center.

I knew I needed this opportunity for the benefits.  Especially a steady paycheck,  which I was not getting at flower shop.   

I would like to remain here for a few more years.  The company has been good to me.  Our upper management team works for us.  Not all businesses  can say the same.
