After 33 years, today is my last full day of work at Nestlé.

What a truly great experience this has been. Thanks to Nestle I got to work with my husband Krishna, we got to meet and adopt our son Aaron and made many great friends.

We moved from Switzerland to Connecticut then to China and then with Aaron went back to Switzerland then to France and finally to Ohio.

So many places and such great diversity of work in many product categories and with people from all over the globe.

Could not have wished for a better company to work for.

Blessing # 24 – A Great Employer

My Mother loved her garden. It was small but filled to capacity with plants that she had grown from slips that family or friends had given her. She worked really  hard to keep the garden beautiful.

I didn’t inherit my Mummy’s green thumb. But sometimes you can get a pleasant surprise even without much effort!

Take for example this lovely little chili plant that is doing well thanks to all the heat and rain we have had recently.

Look at all those little peppers and all the flowers that are a promise of more to come

What’s doing best in your garden this summer? Take a picture and share with us all.

Blessing #23 – Nature’s Gifts

My best friend Carol sent me this birthday card a few years ago and I love it.

It really says so much in only a few little words.

Who is the person you confide in?

Share this little message with them just to make them smile and say thank you.

Blessing # 22 – A true confidante

If you had to choose one Best Of Album which would it be?

Which album sticks out most in your mind?

Would you say any album defines you?

For me it is Fleetwood Mac because with Rumours and then The Best Of was the time I grew up and defined myself.

Don’t think since the issue of The Best Of  Fleetwood Mac I have changed much at all.

Blessing # 22 – Growing up but never growing older!

With all the rain we have had in Ohio the beautiful Olentangy River that is close to our home is high.

Thankfully the banks are strong and have held and kept us safe.

This morning at Church someone played the trombone to Martin Luther’s wonderful A Mighty Fortress. I absolutely love this the drama of the words and the power of the music and the use of another special word for bank BULWARK

What is it that keeps you safe?

Blessing #21 – Our Bulwark Never Failing

 

Don’t you feel that it is so important to recognize great service? If we do that more often we’ll make a change for good.

It is so easy for us all to complain but it is so much more rewarding for all concerned to say BRAVO.

One company I want to recognize and recommend is CONSUMER CELLULAR. They are so respectful so helpful and always good to their promise.  Great value too!!!!!

Once again this week they came through for me as I transferred my work phone number to my new personal phone.

Nothing is ever too much trouble for this company.

Hats off CC you are awesome. Now  Booming Buddies please share your very favorite company too

BLESSING # 20 – Being treated with grace

Here in Ohio we get the Great British Bake-off a little after you dears in the UK.

So grateful though that the wonderful PBS brings this treasure to us.

If you haven’t watched it yet do check it out. Simply pure joy and it starts tonight

Blessing # 19 – A big sticky bun

 

This is so funny.

What is it with our boys that they always think we are hiding things from them?

Can’t help but laugh

Blessing # 18  Boys who will be boys

 

Just love these guys when they chat together.

They are so down to earth, so very generous and so full of love. They bless so many and seem to genuinely be blessed by each other

If you had to choose a famous friend who would it be?

Blessing # 17 – Leaders we look up to
