My Last Day - Pie and All

I will never forget the very first day I worked at the Windmill Tim said to me "Rach - welcome aboard... however if you ever choose to leave the ship you will get pied!" To make it official I guess this is what needed to be done! So here are the pics...
 I really knew it was coming -- it just turned 6o'clock, someone shut the doors, everyone started congregating in a common area, James was all fidgety.. so I calmly walk over to start the drink cooler... well James got his dear sweet little wife to "want to talk to me"! She was the LAST person I ever thought would do such a thing to me!
 I'm sorry, but this was my initial reaction! 
 Mrs.Heikoop says this is what I get for talking so much!
 I'm sorry James - got your brand new shirt all dirty, but more IS coming!

 Not really sure what to think
Katelyn got so upset when daddy got me all dirty
Then I ran after James and Erik wasn't too thrilled!


I suppose it wouldn't be normal for me to leave the Windmill Country Market without some sort of practical joke played! I thought the pie was enough, but apparently not!
 The "smile" on my windshield written as a decoy to turn on my wipers and use my windshield washer fluid
However what I didn't realize was that the hose had been disconnected and brought into my car - so that when I would turn it on the fluid would spray all over me! I must admit it was pretty clever and it did make me laugh! Some people I tell you :)
These are some of the "see you later" cards - made leaving all the harder...

My dear fellow Windmillerites! I will miss all the times we've shared together (good, bad, easy, hard!)! In these past 5.5 years I have learned so very much from each and every one of you! I will never forget you guys - you are all so very special to me! And all of you Windmill Customers... sometimes it was your cheerful hello, or just a smile - that made my day! I will miss all of you!
Thanks all for putting up with me!

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

2017 Re-Cap

2017 was an incredible year filled with MANY changes and experiences I never imagined would befall this little country 'gal. January - Started off with by returning to school (full-time) . In pursuit of me following my life long dream of becoming a Paramedic I needed to take Biology, Chemistry, and Math credits as it had been 6+ years since I last took any of the sciences. The Pre-Health  program at Conestoga seemed to be the best option, as I wanted to get my accreditation for  Paramedicine   at Conestoga College. Returning to school was quite the adjustment as I had not been in full time school for 6+ years, but it quickly grew on me as I got to know my colleagues and schedule. It took me awhile to re-teach myself how to study... it's different as an adult! February - Within the first week I found out that as a mature student, using my grades from the "Pre-Health" program (instead of my highschool transcript) they would NOT even look at my application for Param...
