Here we are last night at the end of our first day in our new facility! Pretty much everything is new and different and we are having to find and figure things out as we go along. But in the end, it is all good with good people on board and... I work with a very special group of people! I appreciate you guys!

Left to right in front are Barbie, Karri, and John. In the back are Marilyn, Carolyn, me, Lisa, and Bernice. Not pictured because they didn't work last night are Kathi, Doris, Susan, Kim, and Jessica. Great crew! Thanks to Heather for taking the picture for us!

blessed with another birthday

Me at age four in kindergarten in Frankfurt, Germany.
I suppose my birthday has put me in a nostalgic mood. 

Looking through a box of photos today, I came across also a few letters written way back when. One was a letter from my mother to my father on Nov 22, 1955. It was the year after they were married and the year before I was born. She was in Columbus, Ohio with his sister, waiting on the feds in DC to call her up to take her US citizenship test. The Army had just sent him back to Germany. In the letter, she tells him that she is expecting, with a due date of July 9, and she is happy about this. Born May 21, I was seven weeks early, then, not nine weeks as I have always thought. Interesting to read these things all these years later! 

I think that I never opened this envelope before because a lot of the correspondence was in German which I do no read well. But this one was in English and I can't believe how good my mother's English already was. Ever the dog lover, she mentions Blackie, the Cocker spaniel that she says "is a lot of company to me right now." She writes a lot about how she cannot wait until they are together again, and sealed the letter with lipstick. : )

Here was today's contribution to Facebook's throwback Thursday.

The recent 'arctic blast' had me buying Sterno in case electric power went out and I wanted to heat water. I love Sterno. It is what I used to heat water on nearly the entire Appalachian Trail after I sent my little backpacking stove home in disgust. 

So the Sterno purchase has had me thinking about the AT a bit. I don't have many photos of myself on the AT but here is one. I am nearing the summit of northern terminus, Mount Katahdin, in Maine. 

For the climb, a little of which was accomplished on 'all fours', I'd shed much of the gear I was carrying. A light load is NUMBER ONE priority (yay Sterno!!) and it was the only time on the trail when I was going to go back the way that I'd come, so I left most gear at the bottom.  - Patt Nance, OH

It is throwback Thursday again!

My mother Emma, sister Karen, and me in Germany in 1961. My mother had been in the States a few years before and had become a naturalized citizen. Karen and I had not yet been to the US but it wouldn't be long before we set sail. This was our passport photo. Karen had the mumps!
