Thursday Odds and Ends

This was my ex-boss and the lady from the bank we worked with.  This was my 'farewell party'.  I was working for an expediting agency.  What we did was get car registrations, visas, passports, etc.  for the rich who didn't want to deal with bureaucracy themselves so they hired us to do it for them.  We also process car registrations and insurance for many of the dealerships in New Jersey.  After 9 years there, I decided to change careers and went into substance abuse treatment.
 

The ring I made in class.  I am so mad at myself.  I lost it.  

This is my mom and her sister.  It's a shame that mom alienated her and her other siblings in her later years.  I remember that lamp.  We had a second one sitting in the window behind the tree.  During a severe thunder storm lightning struck it.  Mom and I ran out and rode around in the car until the storm was over.  From that day on I was in awe of the power of a storm.

This is one of the Roman soldier statues on the building around the corner.  There are several of them.  When the building was torn down for construction, this wall was left up and the new building was built around it.

I just live the sun shining through the leaves.

Me and my mom.

My two beautiful granddaughters.

This is me on the left and my two cousins.

Grandma, me, and granddad.
