Yesterday was a whirlwind! Several opportunities that I have been working on and waiting on all happened at once! This has created some work for me and if it all moves forward, don’t know why it won’t, there are some busy times ahead of me. I am looking forward to it. The wonderful thing about…

I am grateful for practice… and all those who forgive me and support me while I am practicing.

Today I met with two gentlemen that I am working with on upgrading a WMS, (Warehouse Management System). This meeting has been a long time coming, especially with this COVID-19 shutdown. It was a quick meeting, only a few hours in the afternoon, but it was productive. I am grateful for these opportunities that the…

This past weekend was spent with my younger sister and her husband at their house. I really am surprised that they allowed the visit. They were having the entire exterior of their house painted. It was a very relaxing visit for me. I had some work that I had to do and I was able…
