It's been a couple of years since I blogged and I forgot all sorts of things ... including my password. Since I also changed my E-mail address, I couldn't log on to my account or have my password sent to my old E-mail address. I'm sure there is some technical way of fixing this, but I'm sure I'd lose my desire to blog while I was trying to figure it out.
So the old blog is Kareabou Thoughts and the new one is Kareabout Thoughts ... since it will be about things I care about. (Brilliant, eh)
I just finished 7 weeks of working at O'Keefe Ranch near Vernon. I've discovered a new passion ... history! Technically, history would be an old passion, I suppose. Since my job at O'Keefe Ranch was a tour guide (officially: "interpreter"), I found out that I loved dressing up in the Victorian costume and telling stories. We actually did a lot of cleaning as well: started with bathrooms in the morning, then cleaned windows, dusted and swept between tours. I had applied for the summer interpreter job about 30 years ago when I was in university, but didn't get it. So I finally got my "dream job" and they probably thought I was nuts, because I'd be walking from one building to another, singing to myself.
Back to my other job at New Hope for Widow/ers, which is 2 mornings a week, doing office work. New Hope is doing their annual fundraiser tomorrow night so I got up the nerve to contact the local radio station to do a little free promotion and the next thing I knew, I was on-air this afternoon for about 5 minutes. I came home to a son who was excited that I'd been on the radio -- he said I sounded professional. I was excited too ... it's not very often that my kids are excited about my accomplishments. I do hope that a lot of people will come out to the fundraiser. It's a Benefit Concert and Silent Auction ... music by The Cats and the Fiddle ... lots of great items in the silent auction ... bake sale ... and dessert buffet.
Time to go ... life interferes with blogging.
