Just when I thought it was safe to go to lunch I get another surprise. Helen and Pat had mentioned that they wanted to meet with me at noon to go over some items that was discussed at last weeks Board Meeting. When it came time to meet with them, I found out that there was more fun and excitement to be had. As I went out in the hallway I was greeted my none other than the OREGON DUCK. As you can see by the expression on my face, I was totally in shock. How cool was it to get the DUCK to visit you on your birthday. I got to hang out with the DUCK and high five each other and just goof around for a couple of minutes.
He then led me to the lunch room where there was still more to come. The lounge was full of employees, friends and family. They had gotten me a cake decorated like a membership card to AARP. That was way cool. It was such a nice surprise I really didn't know what to say. I just want to thank everyone involved who made my 50th birthday a very special day that I won't soon forget.

Can't imagine who would have been involved in this. Appreciate the offer though, but we all KNOW who is in big TROUBLE when the AARP membership applications start hitting the mail box. Bowl good Monday night and make us some money for a change. LOL

Good to hear from you. Your work schedule sounds like mine. I just went through our CPA audit and our State examination. I need this vacation bad. Going to school at the same time has been very hectic. Thanks for checking out the blog.
Oh, by the way - Congrats MR. Oregon State Team Champion. Can't wait to defend our title next year.
