WOTM


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I enter this August in uncharted territory. I am confident but still nervous. My peer is gone and I'm in charge now. It'll be fine. No really.

Heading For The Barnes


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today marks the end of an era for me. Back in 2009 when I first started at JIS Jerry was there. He sent me my first work email. He showed me the ropes. He's been my mentor and peer though it all for nearly 17 years, and he retired today. He also doesn't like a fuss or having his picture taken so I admit I did this surreptitiously. I had to have at least one picture of him before he rode off into the sunset. JIS won't be the same without out him.

Canine Companion


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did mention these two got along pretty well. Notice she's even got Bluey on for him. Of course I have no idea where being such a sucker for a silly dog comes from.

Royally Cheesy


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I won of course. I am the king of the cheese! 

That's Just Rube


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You know when Mackenzie is staying there's gonna be games. All kinds of games. But now that she's a little older we're evolving into some more complicated ones. Like Mouth Trap. I used to love Mouse Trap when I was a kid and didn't know they even still made it. Just as silly as ever.

Bear x Mackenzie

 













 

 

These two got along, just a little.

Still Fun


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, as is life, the times had to end. Casie and Lonnie went back home while Mackenzie is staying for the week. It goes way too fast with people we don't get to see nearly enough. Luckily these two get along pretty well, there's a lot of giggling with this pair.
