Summer in the City

Well-life has definitely been interesting this summer as far as work goes. I am finding why Memphis is rated number 2 in the country for crime. We have had lots of incidents of people just running out the doors with carts full of merchandise. Then to top that off the store was broken into and robbed over the weekend. They cut a hole in our roof and cut the alarm wires, then proceeded to bust out all of our jewelry showcases and empty them. Most of the really high dollar stuff is pulled into a safe at night, but quantity wise it still added up to a LOT of money. So this week for me has been spent getting everything repaired. It is kind of creepy that when my boss answered the first alarm call the burglar was probably still there-but they just checked the perimeters and front area since the building interior alarm had not gone off, then got a second call about an hour later. Luckily for me, he had moved his name to the top of the alarm call list, before that I was always the first to get called! Of course, I had Skyler overnight that night so I would have had to called him anyway. Just makes you pause and really pay a lot more attention to what is going on around you!
Other than my (overly) exciting job, I have been enjoying my summer. Spending time at the pool when I can, driving to Jonesboro (frequently) to see my beautiful new grandson and his parents, and lots of time pondering what I want my future to look like. I am hoping to maybe travel somewhere at the end of August for vacation-maybe I will show up on someones doorstep!! :)
Hope everyone is enjoying their summers as well! Back to school will be here before you know it!!
