Now a gov worker

My first job interview, and I was hired. I now work at a gov agency. It has been one week and I feel I have been there a long time. So far so good. I was told by a friend it was a good department to work for. I hope so. It took 3 months to get a job. At least I got the summer off and now that the kids are in school, it works out very nicely.

I find it amusing i am 1 of those evil gov workers my in-laws think deserved to be blown up. And the health care fight. Again, I saw it coming. My in-laws were hard core anti-clinton types and thought health care reform in the 90s was a bad idea. Now my mother in-law has cancer and no insurance. So, now they live in an old camper trailer in Nebraska with no running water and they are ok with that. So very sad. But, they never did have anything to lose in the first place. They have been living a nomadic life for some time, and I find it strange I knew one of them would get sick. We ALL get sick and die from something. Are they crazy, yes.

Berries

This has been a very berry summer. My raspberries did well this summer, picked huckleberries, went to the oregon coast and bought a bucket of blue berries and this weekend I picked chokecherries.
Thats ok, my apples were ruined by hail in July. And my neighbors crabapple tree also. So, no apple butter this year.
