Well, I’m beginning to find a life.

For those of you I have talked to (or came to see me!) recently, I am doing
much better. I decided to get out of the house and do something! Getting my
car out of the shop after seven weeks was a big help.

I have been attending Continuing Education classes at the Fort Worth Chapter
of TSCPA training facilities. It is a great facility (you can see the kiddy
train that runs through the Fort Worth Zoo from the class room). I have
made some good contacts and last Tuesday (the 13th) I posted my resume on
their website and have got a job offer on Thursday (the 15th) and another
one today!

After the big birthday bash on the first of July I am going to start working
(contract basis like I wanted) for the firm of Simpson & Taylor near
downtown Fort Worth (by Summit Plaza). I’ll be working one or two days a
week in the off season and three days during heavy tax time. Mr. Simpson is
retired, but keeps an office on the premises. Mr. Taylor is a dapper little
man who is actually the sole owner. There are three women working there full
time and another position that needs to be filled. Cross your fingers that I
don’t piss everybody off and have to leave to restore harmony. Surely they
can stand me two days a week if I stay in my room.

The offices are huge so maybe I can reclaim my antiques from my next to last
job in South Arlington and move them to the new place.

Also, last week (the 13th was a busy day), I joined the Mansfield Chamber of
Commerce and was immediately invited to three functions. Bob came home from
the golf course and said one of his foursome offered me office space when he
gets his new Mortgage office open in Mansfield. They also invited him back
to play this week.

Maybe we will both get a life and stop driving each other crazy!

For those of you who don’t know, BF turns 90 on June 30th and there is a big
party on Saturday, July 1st in Seymour. Family will be there at 12 noon and
everyone is invited to come at 2 pm. There will be cake, punch, ice cream
and a live band at the old Country Club. EVERYONE is invited.


Love to all,
