who is gonna fill THOSE shoes?

Who's leaving?
My dept. head is retiring. Her shoes are huge, who is gonna fill those, I wonder.

She has been my best resource for my constant curiosity, her patience is remarkable.
I have just written about 15 sentences and then erased them, words are difficult to write when I feel like I am losing the person who knows what I do, how well I do and regarded me in high favor like few others ever have....and maybe ever will? We may not always have seen eye to eye on all issues but she always had my respect and in some cases my "awe" in how she dealt with some very difficult situations.

I shall miss her. I try to think positively and believe the person to take over her position will be fresh, new and innovative......and maybe that will happen and come to pass....I am trying to be positive here folks!!


Who paid a visit?
a friend of mine dropped in to my place of work today, she's a police officer. She is also, tall with the longest legs I have ever seen....being a cop suits her....and not just because of her long legs. In my estimation she was born to be a police officer....her personality, her wit and her attitude ...along with her strength both physical and of character make for a really great cop material. What is funny....is when she walks into the place....the look on people's faces. Stunned is a polite word to use, I suppose. It's just funny to witness the strange "thoughts" that float through people's facial features when the blue uniform shows up for no reason other than she was on her break and was in the area.
It's nice to know that a police officer has my back, but it's even better to know that I have a good friend, back....

Who gets a snowman?
Stay warm everyone. Forecasting snow for next week. I already bought my grand-daughter a new snowman to give to her on the first day of snow!! looks like it might be sooner rather than later.......I already gave her snowman sheets this summer (hey, they were on sale) so her Mommy told her on the first day that it really snowed hard.....they would put them on her bed.
Well, now the grand-daughter will have a snowman to place on top of the bed, too!! I love being a Gramma!!
