Gray Day

I was up early and got a lot of work done in my home office, before going to TFC’s International Office for a 10 a.m. meeting.

 

I thought I may get ahead of the rain, but it started a short time earlier, making the roads a bit dangerous because the temperature was right on freezing.

 

The first two pictures are not black and white – that is just how gray, cold, and dreary it was outside.  I must have done something “right” with my flash to make those interesting, black-trimmed, rain drops.  I took the pictures on portrait mode, which blurrs or softens the background.

I was a bit nervous about the half-hour drive, but only came upon a few icy places. 

 

Cerwin wanted me to arrive early to get new pictures of the chapel that is under construction for Chilliwack, British Columbia.

 

He is installing cabinets this week.

 

The microwave and refrigerator will be placed in the openings to the right of the cabinets.

It was good to see Bill.  He has not been feeling well for several weeks, and is still having tests to help discover why he is nauseated much of the time.

They were enjoying pumpkin cookies.

I still had a few minutes, so walked around the office to see who I could find at their desk.

 

Hey, there’s the boss – TFC’s President & CEO, Scott Weidner.

 

Bunny was checking out our new website at www.driverswellness.com.

Then it was 10 a.m., time for our meeting.

 

The purpose of our meeting today was to meet or become better acquainted with Janette Guy, wife of Chaplain Richard Guy, who recently accepted the challenge of becoming International Office Manager. 

 

The men – Scott, Bunny, Cerwin, Mike (out of camera range) – and I were asked to be there for the first part of the meeting.  Howard was missing, since his wife, Angie, was having some outpatient tests today. 

 

Following that meeting, the ladies on staff (minus Angie) met to become acquainted with office changes.  Lynn, (standing) the current office manager, will train Janette, then assume new responsibilities – using her creative talents – probably with our websites and literature.

Welcome aboard, Janette!
