This is the last week I will be working at the AMS office in Hayden. It will close at the end of the year, but most of us will be working from home before then. I will bring my work computer home on Friday.We are having a close-down party on Wednesday. I will be cooking a ham for that. No dutch oven dishes this time.
With the help of a friend, I have picked up another 40 or so silly signs. And I still haven’t gotten through all the sign links that Betty sent me. So you’ll be seeing some pretty good stuff soon, if you can sit still through all the ridiculous Windows signs.
