OK, so I retired over 5 years ago and my Financial Advisor and friend since 7th grade told me if I wanted to keep busy I should be an On Call for Edward Jones. So I applied and was hired. The first year was a learning curve doing the training and putting my name out there. I don't remember how much I worked that year but I have worked at 10-12 different offices over the years. The second year I worked just under 1000 hours. The third year over 800 hours. I had over 200 hours before covid hit last year and still ended up with amost 350 hours. After covid started I only worked at one office, my home branch, and decided that I was tired of traveling 20-30 miles one way to different offices in traffic anyway. My home branch is 8 miles one way.
This morning my phone rang and Kelly, FA of my home branch, called and asked if I wanted to work because she was sending Tisha home sick. The picture above is how my day went! I know I am working tomorrow and was already scheduled to work on Wednesday. I might work the whole week and maybe longer. Time will tell. So if you don't hear from me, please don't panic. I'll check in when I can. Edward Jones is a great place to work part time or full time... Thank goodness I have a wonderful Hubby that can help at home, even though he doesn't know how to turn the computer on let alone pay bills online.
My how time flys when you are having fun. Where do the days go? Thank you for stopping by my place even when I just can't seem to get here.
I hope you know how much your friendship means to me. We had over 4" of rain the past 3 days. But this morning the clouds were breaking up and the sun is now shining. So I hope you enjoy my morning picture.
What a year this has been! I think we are all ready for a new beginning. This last week of the year I am babysitting the chickens next door. They have 6 chickens and get 6 eggs a day. Can you believe it?
I am not one that changes my homepage very often, but I just couldn't resist this picture. I have a friend who designs tutorials and she asked a mutual friend to help with the coding. So I hope you like my new page and the quote. I am beyond excited!
Well, I hope all your decorations and lights are still on the tree.
And that you have had no problems so far with cooking and wrapping. Now it is almost time for
singing a few Christmas carols. The Garth and Tisha Christmas special was so much fun on TV. Hope you have watched something like it and got a chance to sing along.
May you have a blessed Christmas week. Snow is falling down and Christmas spirit is in the air. What a glorious Monday day ! Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Smiles Gloria
Sure hope you had a terriffic week and are getting ready for an extra special weekend. After all, next Friday will be Christmas. Can you believe it? Are you sure you are almost ready?
We were below freezing all night but it has finally warmed up today. I worked on all my Orchids (13) and Christmas Cactus (3) that were sure glad to see sunshine. The cactus is blooming and the orchids should start next month.
Hope you enjoy your evening, for now I'll wish you Blessings and Hugs!
Just ten more days... Are you ready? I am still waiting on a couple of things. Just heard my heater come on as we are still chilly in Texas! Have you every heard of Cocoa Bombs? They seem to be all the rage around here. Sent the recipe to all my friends hoping someone will make them and share with us. Blessings & Hugs along with...
So proud of the Dad that Wayne is to his girls, Nicole and Michelle.
Nicole is finally taller than Evelyn. Mom doesn't look happy about it either.
Hopefully, Michelle will be taller than me someday. Anyway, I hope you had a fun weekend with friends and family or are looking forward to it at Christmas as we celebrate the birth of our Lord.
Here we are in the middle of the week. This morning it is not too cold, not raining, sun not shining, just blah. But thanks to the Lord, we are here enjoying every minute that he has blessed us with today. And I know that I am loved and you are loved. What a beautiful day God has created for us to share with others.

Enjoying some maple pecan flavored coffee from green mountain while I am chit chatting with you in one of many snowman coffee cups I have given to me from friends and family thoughout these many years.
At the moment though I am sending you a smile your way and wishing you a peaceful day. May your day be ever so kind to you. Smiles Gloria
Three times yesterday I thought about getting here and it never happened... so I am telling you today how grateful I am that you are a part of my life. Hope you are shopping Black Friday and Small Market Saturday and will have all your gifts bought, wrapped and delivered soon.
In the meantime, enjoy the next 30 days of the season by sharing Love and don't forget to take time to smell the coffee.
