Crawdads & More

Linh had her first crawdads yesterday and loved them! Note the NOLA beads on her wrist.
She was also introduced to NOLA Mardi Gras masks and crowns!

NOLA

Last Friday, Linh and I arrived in New Orleans, LA to visit my daughter Kim and her boyfriend Thomas. This is a pic of us at Jackson Square taken yesterday. More pics to come later.

Happy 2017

Linh and I celebrated the new year having dinner at The Inn at Little Washington (https://theinnatlittlewashington.com/) - my favorite restaurant in the world.

Beginning our 7-course meal.

The Inn's surprise visitor as we left. Llana was a beautiful beast!

I hope that you all have a healthy, prosperous and happy 2017!

Correction re Linh's Job

It was just pointed out to me that I did not update info re Linh's job that she started this week.
The day after Linh received her job offer from the United Methodist Church Family Services, she received another "therapist" job offer from the United Summit Center (USC see http://www.uscwv.org). She ended-up accepting the USC job - which also pays $3,000/year more.

Updates

Linh started her job this past Monday (August 15th). She is now going through a 5-day orientation (in Clarksburg, WV) and on Monday she will actually start working at her office in Philipi, WV.
Just before starting her job, Linh went on a 10-day trip to Santa Ana, CA to see her Vietnamese friend. While there she visited San Diego and boarded the USS Midway aircraft carrier!

Terrific News!

Linh got a job = Foster Care Social Worker! She will be working for Burlington United Methodist Church Family Services located in Grafton, WV. Other info: start date August 1st; starting salary = $27,000; 3 weeks vacation; all Federal holidays; full medical benefits; 401K or 403B with matching contributions up to 6% of her salary. She will have to get a temporary WV Social Worker license (no problem) - and then pass a WV Social Worker license test within 6 months of her job start date.
Above pic is Linh with her new used car that she recently bought. She still has a learner's permit and is planning to take her license driving test next Monday. Wish her good luck!
