Great Time Had By All!

I had my companies 20 year anniversary party the day after I returned from O's this last time. It turned out better then I could of ever expected. Out of 39 employees 31 showed up, plus their guest, plus I invited about 7 other people. We had about 70 attendees. I rented a banquet room at the Omni hotel in Houston. I was very satisfied with the arrangements. Ofcourse my General Manager and office staff did all of the planning. I was very moved by all the employees and was surprised by what they gave me. It sure is nice to be able to sit back and realize that there are a lot of very nice people in this world. The success of my company is due in large to all the dedicated and hard working employees that work for me. Like I like to say "A leader is only as good as the people that follow him or her." I am very blessed to have terrific employees.

Today was father's day and I had a terrific time with my daughter. She gave me a very moving present for father's day. A 25 page book with pictures of her growing up and captions of the most wonderful words I have read. I cried while reading the book. We also went to the farm,, ate a peach and grapes grown at the farm, fed the animals, did some fence work, picked about 36 tomatoes, 30 peppers, about 2 gallons of green beans, some bassel and rosemary, went home and prepared a dinner with some of the farm veggies we had picked. Sometimes I think I am luckiest parent on this planet. I don't know why I have such a wonderful daughter, but she makes me very proud. I could not of dreamed of a better daughter.

Till next time, Jorge

Hola Jorge,

Loved hearing about your nice 20th anniversary party. Do your folks know what a great Military Genius you are! A born Leader!!

The part about your daughter brought tears to my eyes too. Sound like the best Father's Day gift a Dad could have. I agree A is quite special! God Bless her!

Oh by the way - I am so not going for a psychotherapy license. I just needed some Category 1 continuing medical education credits and this sounded way interesting! (and it was!) Much better than my usual orthopedic or Internal Medicine conferences!!

No, I'm not ready to counsel anyone!!! In fact I need a good counselor!!!

Well glad your home safe at the Homestead. Hope all your Summer plans go well. I'll be unplugged soon, but I'll check in when I can.

Tienes una bonita dia!!! LPK

Hi L, Like I said, "A leader is only as good as the people that follow him/her." I thought I might be able to unload some stuff on you and use you as my counselor, LTS. That's OK, like I also like to say "it's always good to learn a little bit about everything."

I'm going to try and post something before we leave for Germany/Italy next week.

Auf Wiedersehen and Arrivederci!
Till next time, Jorge

Hey Jorge,

Have a good fart! (not sure of the spelling,] but this means have a good TRIP in German! My kids love screaming this out the window at oak grove T station to Steve whenever he is leaving us to go to the city. Heads definitely turn!

I loved Germany and Italy when I visited there. I'm sure you and A will too! All the best!
walk gently, LPK
