I hope all of you are enjoying your holiday! We are watching fireworks from the balcony.
The first three days of July were the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. Because I live about 45 minutes from Gettysburg, it has been in the news constantly in the 2-1/2 weeks I've been here. I am now completely fascinated with the battle, and reading everything I can get my hands on about it. The current issue of National Geographic is about Gettysburg and the Civil War. I can't wait to read it! The third day I was here, I went to the Social Security office about 20 miles from Gettysburg. The road (U.S. 30) was packed with RV's and out-of-state vehicles, heading to the park. I learned something interesting: U.S. 30 stretches from the Jersey Shore to Oregon. What a fun trip that would be! However, I am not going to Gettysburg until the kids go back to school.
Linda and I went shopping today. She is truly a pro, and I have learned a lot from her (and have had a lot of fun). She buys and I look! Although I'm not buying, I am taking pictures of things I would like for my new home.
Bad news on the job front today...there is a personnel crisis at the assisted living center, and the job I applied for has been delayed. It was not a job I would have kept as a career, but it was a place to start. Obviously, it was not meant to be. I will spend the weekend looking for temporary help services, and make appointments on Monday. There is something out there for me.
Linda has a few very valuable contacts, and is working to help me meet them. In the meantime, I am working to develop new ways to market myself. Here we go!
