His Last Day at the Windmill...

James' last day of work at the Windmill was July 28th.

We went to see him in his last hours there as a surprise.

Got a last ice-cream snack there during a quick break. 

End of the day/weekend displays - empty - that's a good thing!

And after all the customers had gone, James got his SECOND "pie-in-the-face" episode.

He deserved it though, after all the pies he's shoved in the faces of the staff who are leaving over the years. :) So, a couple of the workers, had to get em' good. And they did. :) Thankfully, they've switched over to using mostly just whipped cream, so it's not as wasteful - just really messy. :)

So now what for James? Well, I think I mentioned it earlier, but after leaving the Windmill - a long-thought-out-prayed-over-decision, James took the month of August off to work on the house we just bought, and then is starting at Whitebird in Hamilton. Whitebird is a corrugate/packaging/office supply-sanitation company that was started around 30 years ago by his dad. So it's a family company, but James is an employee, which can be nice for a change. He will be doing sales, which he'll do great at. Lots of learning, but that's what he needs right now, and wants to do. Hopefully, it will give him a bit more family time with us - one of the reasons for the switch - as well as for serving in our church - as the corrugate company doesn't keep as long of hours as the food companies have to.

So, if you think of it, pray for us in this transition. :) It's exciting and different.

But, you usually, you need change to grow.

And that's a good thing.
