July 3rd

This is Raymond, he's worked for my husband for 20 years; Thursday we had an appreciation dinner at the shelter close to the office. My husband owns and operates a heating and air conditioning business; Raymond was the first employee hired and still hanging in there!
Raymond opening his gift........
wish I had gotten a better picture of this beautiful clock, it's called a Solstice clock. You can see all the gears in it.
Then there is the card, dog looks like a dog we used to have......."Give me five.....Congratulations! Raymond has dogs, cats, chickens and ducks.......so card fits right in with the collection of animals.
Jennifer, our daughter, who is also the assistant office manager..........giving Raymond a hug; probably for putting up with her some days!!! LOL

Getting ready to eat. Jennifer had a caterer come with wonderful food for our meal. Not everyone could make it, they sure missed a great evening. Jennifer with her appreciation gift..........
Jeanie the office manager, her husband Michael, my husband Mike (the business owner) and Jennifer.Jennifer giving her dad a hug..........ahhhh!
The nicest thing for me was........I didn't have to cook dinner or do dishes that night!! hehehe
Next year Jennifer will have 5 years (opps! daughter has informed me that I have to change this; she will have 10 years in working for dad!.......where DOES the time go????) in working for dad, and three other employees will have 10 years in.........oh, boy, another party!!!
