It's official, we are not being invited back next year. I had a feeling we weren't going to be and Saturday Ted finally asked the guy over us.
He said "NO" they had a lot of other people wanting to come and volunteer so were going to have some of them next year, then they'd be bringing some of us back. Well, I don't believe him but let it go. In his next breath he told Ted they would be phasing out the help in the sewing room since they hired Florida. I figure one of these days someone will catch him in a story - I just hope I get to hear about it.
The thing that really hurts me is that NO ONE said a word to us. We had to go and ask. I talked to my supervisor in the Depot today and she didn't even know it. She's not happy that they are taking Ted away but he seems to have more say than most of the other people here.
I had to leave church Sunday as my emotions got the best of me when they "passed the peace" and two people told me they were really going to miss me. We plan to get out of here Thursday right after work and aren't telling anyone. I don't think I could make it through the Vesper Service anyway.
SO...I already have plans for next October. I want to come to Illinois and go on the Cemetary Walk and then I want to go to our all church retreat. I've wanted to go to that for a long time but we were never home. Now we will be.
This has been a great thing for Ted and I. WE both have loved coming here and the work they do. We have made some great friends. But this year things changed a lot, especially for me and I began to think I might not come back anyway. It still would of been nice to of had someone come talk to us and tell us what was going on instead of having to go ask.
