Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

that is great deb! I worked as a pizza place for a little bit, but as a delivery driver.... I didn't manage to stick it out for long... the hours were during 'prime party time'

I had a misspent youth... what is sad, is that I miss it....... not sure what that means..... I haven't grown up? Don't want to grow up? dunno..

Hes 25 and this is technically his first job. Hes worked for the college in the astronomy department as a researcher.... and in the college book store... then before that when he was going to community college he volunteered at the Birch Aquarium in the information booth.

Hes been stuck on making a living wage.... not on just getting a job.

I kept telling him ... JUst Get a job any job... that fell on deaf ears.... LOL.

I am Eastern Orthodox Christian.... and we calculate our Easter based on the same stuff as the rest of you'll do, but also look at when Jewish Passover fell. Than means that every so often we have Easter the same time as y'all, and some times later or earlier.

Me, I totally prefer having our Easter AFTER yours... because then I get to buy all of the Easter stuff on sale!

I did not know that. Learn something new every day.

I totally agree with the buying after Easter thing. Did you do the Easter Bunny thing with your kids? How did you explain the different "delivery" days?

Happy Happy Happy Dance.... Kid came home chirping..... WHEW.

The hours are super what he wants.... four days a week and four hours a day.... five to nine.

If he delivers pizza it will be as a fill in... All the guys in the kitchen told him the work load is mostly sitting back cleaning straightening stuff then a flurry of orders will come in and they will be back to cleaning and puttering. He announced "I can say I have made TWO pizzas now"

LOL. this will go very very far toward him getting self confidence... minimum wage here is 9 bucks so that would be 170 ish a week.... and a skill... woo hoo.

His best friend has a bachelors degree in Computer programming with an emphasis on Artificial Intelligence. Yet he moved from San Diego following a girlfriend to Montana... He got a job at McDonalds.... and now has been promoted to a managerial position like within about six months.

deb

Yeah for kids and jobs!!!!

trying to match lunar and solar calendars is impossible.
I think that the 14th of every lunar month is the full moon. Passover starts at sundown on the 14th day of the first month.
coffee is great this morning, chicks coming out of the incubator this morning after my second cup.

Saving money is even better..... it feels REALLY good.

April showers bring snow plowers

At this rate we'll be able to build snowmen for Pentacost, sigh.

We are getting our April showers. Each day is spent trying to determine if it is going to rain and exactly what can we get done before it rains. We need the water but it sure makes farm chores hard to do when it is too soggy for the tractor.

I'm really happy for those who are getting the rain that needed it. Hugs for those in any of the flood zones

Trying to count my blessings this morning sooooo,
Getting the place ready to sell

means limited spring planting chores (only flowers to make the place pretty this year)
This snow/cold means I don't have to try to stuff all those Easter leftovers into the fridge, I can just sit them on the back porch.

Now gotta go get ready to take the pooch to the city for her follow-up on her infection and get her her Lymes booster.
Darn lymes is a horrible risk for both human and beast around here.
