Saturday Sharing

FrEYEday dinner time scenes from The PF Palace - 


Ready to head out to DaBurg!
Some watching later with SUNset oh so close -
Heading to 7pm - 78 - Partly Cloudy - with hell on the schedule for next week -
Now back to fun from Day 1 of  Life With No Alarm Set - Willow's other bestie Auntie Di!
Who did some shopping for Willow -
Willow said thanks for fetching a card for me -

And she did get one on FrEYEday after missing one on Thursday -

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
My GKP officemate Crystal wanted to take me to lunch - I suggested SIPS - as the first time I had gone to Plant Box - SIPS original name - was to get a plant for her after her mom passed away -  I had a Dirty Dr Pepper -
A Cubano Toastie - very yummy - the others had assorted tasty foodables too -
Crystal in the foreground - Judy behind her - and Crystal invited Auntie Di - and the lumpy guest of honor -
Auntie Di sent half of her bagel sandwich back to The Khottage - Willow getting her dog tax for not getting to go along - although Crystal got to see her before we headed over -
Judy surprised me with the SUNflower bag you may have seen in the picture with these very special gifts - she's one of the GKP Admins - and another dog person -
Auntie Di surprised me with this Marscapone Vanilla Khake -
It was a tasty like a khake should be - I did take her some when we went for our FrEYEday Foodables -
Some relaxation - you would think SHE'S the one that retired -

Crystal had let me know that one of Industrial Engineers Michelle had helped with the green paper part of our lunch - I did write and thank her for her part - I wish she could have been there - she's another one that goes way back in my GKP days - 

It still seems surreal - I'm sure SUNday will bring a more REAL-NESS to it all - when we don't have to do anything other than hitting Sheetz for the newzpaperz - and I can resume my 'normal' MSNOW viewing - with a Phillies game ⚾

Auntie Di and I continued the celebration with our FrEYEday lunch foodables - of course, Willow and Emmy will share here tomorrow!

Happy Saturday EvFURRYone!

Thursday Thinking

Wednesday Scenes From The PF Palace - 

I thought this was a sign from Silver & Blue - wings from The Rainbow Bridge -

******
Heading to 8pm - 76 - Fair -
Willow wondered why it seemed like a Thursday on Wednesday - 
How nice I hadn't yet given her the SEVEN treat from the most recent Hazel Box -
I told her that from now on, Mom would be with her SEVEN days a week -
Headed to Sips Cafe for the morning beverage ritual - I used the app to order one of June's specials -
Mine was waiting for me in the pick up spot -
Off to work with a Birthday Cake Latte - to celebrate Sips' 3rd birthday -
The last time thru the gate of The GKP -
Greeted straightaway -
💜💚💜
One of the security crew made this for me - thanks Carlos!
My countdown calendar -
After getting back from collecting the checks, I took care of this -

I had prepped one of my salads but they surprised me with lunch -
Salads - I grabbed a tuna and one slice of pizza =
Crystal arranging the balloons she brought in -
KHAKE!!! - I had some from the upper right khorner of course -
RED VELVET khupkhakes - and incredible forever rose - I'll give the rose more picture time on another post -
Pizza Bone from WFH co-worker -
😍
This was really special - and it shall dwell in a spot of honor - after I prepare a fitting place -
And a VISA card too 😊
I turned in my office key -
After loading The KhrossTrek with stuff and more, one last time out the gate -
Time to start the new 'venture -
Willow did greet the balloons with a grumble - I told her they were okay - and after she had her kibble, she got HER pizza bone!
Yes it does - and we intend to see some of it - 
Willow says she's ready - 

I had expected the day to be special but I was overwhelmed by how VERY SPECIAL it was - all levels of those I've worked with and for wanted to make sure they got to say some kind words and share hugs - 
Words fail me trying to sum it up - so many of you should know how deeply touched I was and am -

I've taken a bit of time to decompress after getting back to The Khottage - and I'm going to pour an adult beverage to let the day sink in -

I will get to keep the party going a bit today - my old officemate - and another longime co-worker - are meeting at Sips for lunch - Auntie Di is invited too!

Happy Thursday EvFURRYone!
