Sixty Years

My sister Lee turns 60-years old today. Her husband Jeff follows her in four days. She is the older woman by four days!

Her life has gone through big changes this year. She worked for a patent attorney who abused her – took away all her saved sick pay, took away all earned vacation time and reduced her work time to only four days a week thus cutting her salary. He blamed her for everything. She could not please him.

She finally left to work through a temp agency for someone on maternity leave. She loved the company. They loved her. After leaving, she got a lot of job leads and offers of recommendations.

She is a currently entertaining three different job offer. She has a choice. She has to choose.

Her former employer, the lawyer, called to ask for help. They needed her help with the billing. They had also done no other work since she left. Could she come in to do it? She is now helping him do the billing. I guess she wasn’t the problem after all! I think she is much too kind to help him at all but Lee is kinder than I am!

Chip and Betty wanted to do something special for their birthday. We combined our money and sent a gift card for a couple of hundred dollars for a nice dinner out to celebrate their birthdays.

Sixty. It never looked so good!
