Vacation After Helpers of People Leave

This is the last day of my vacation after my Helpers of People leave.  I have been working for a long time, and this is the first time I have been off for two weeks straight.  After delivering Meals on Wheels the first week, my husband (Darrell) and I went to San Antonio and I spent some time with my daughter (Michelle) and all three of my sisters (Cathy, Janet and Sandra).  I haven’t been able to spend much time with my daughter this year, and it was really nice to see her.  I am very close to my sisters.  We are not only sisters but also good friends.  I love spending time with them and catching up on their lives.  I also went to a birthday party for Darrell’s Mother while I was in San Antonio.  Both of Darrell’s sisters and their children and grandchildren live in San Antonio, so I was able to see most of his family also.  We came home Tuesday in time to take out my foster friend.  He has autism and we have been taking him out once a week since 1990.  He also spends Christmas and Thanksgiving with us.  I spent the rest of the week relaxing, reading and getting some things off of my to-do list.  I feel more rested than I have all year and it was great to get some things accomplished at home.  I want to thank my co-workers for taking care of things at the office so that I could take some time off without worrying too much.  I work with a great group of people and I feel very blessed to work for such a great company.
