Time to get Posting !!!


 Wouldn't you just know it... even more time has gone by in the flash of an eye.

It seems like only yesterday, we were making our batches of Salsa, and putting them up on the shelf.  Now, winter is almost ready to start into spring, our salsa stash is just about depleted and the daffodil bulbs are beginning to push up through the cold earth.  The signs of spring are returning to Eastrun!
 Robins are back from their winter hiatus to warmer climates, and the maple trees are going to be running sap soon.

 There are plenty of things happening in 2019, and I'm looking forward to them with anticipation.

My work life has taken a new direction.  At the start of the new year, there was a corporate decision to close down the program I had given a great deal of my energy to developing from a pilot program into a service available to clients on a national level, at all of the company's retail outlets.  
 It was a shock and a sad day, when the news was shared with all my colleagues and myself. 
 How does it go ?  When life hands you lemons, You make a lemon meringue pie! Or something along those lines.   I'm still working on the crust for that pie.  You have to start somewhere.

 So, I'm starting by, brushing off my resume' and sending it out to potential employers.
 I've interviewed two potential employers so far.  They both gave me a good feeling about their company philosophy.  They also are family owned and operated, instead of huge corporate entities, which also made me feel a little "warm and fuzzy" about the possibility of working with them.
 
 Another new adventure for me is:  This is the year I move into the Presidency of The H.H. Franklin Club.  For the next two years, I will be presiding over Board of Directors meetings and hosting four major events for the club.  I will also host a couple of cocktail parties as President.  I'm REALLY looking forward to those!!!  Tee he he.
 The other events are, The Franklin Trek held in the finger lakes of central New York State at the end of July, and the Air Cooled invitational at the H.H. Franklin Museum at The Gilmore in Hickory Corners Michigan, the third weekend in June.   (www.Franklincar.org  for anyone who wants to look up the web site)
 If you've read some of my earlier postings in here, you would have seen my Franklin Sedan out and about on different adventures.  This is something I'm very passionate about, and I'm very happy to be able to give back to this non-profit with my time and energy.
 
 I will be posting to this blog more regularly.  I would encourage you to check back from time to time... Even make it part of your "routine"!  I'm going to be making it part of mine.

 Cheers for now...  and enjoy the two pictures of Farnsworth house at East Run, and the new Car Barn we had built for the expanding antique car collection.
