Today is Saturday, July 30, 2017 and it is the 40th day until my 60th Birthday.
CORRECTION: JULY 1ST, 2017 ….
The sky is overcast and it is to be a warm day here in Canada as we celebrate our 150th Birthday.
Yesterday at work I was reminded of my most favourite summer.
It was the summer of 1973.
One of my school friends and I had decided to go to Edmonton and get summer jobs.
My cousin and her husband were gracious to let me stay with them.
I got a job as an Executive Assistant at a large corporation.
We had both applied and I got the job.
I am still to this day not certain how that came about …..
The man I worked for was so kind to me.
I do not remember doing much actual work and was terribly spoiled.
I had zero office experience and remember learning how to use the “paper copier.”
He treated me to coffee and treats from the “Coffee Cart” that came around the office at coffee time.
Even had me go and do some shopping.
In addition to having that great start to my off the farm work experience my cousins treated me to a summer to remember.
We went camping and ended up in a flash flood as we had set up camp on a dry river bed. Quick exit.
They took me to see Charlie Pride at the Jubilee Auditorium and so much more.
BEST SUMMER EVER.
Always, Carol
