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!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places! I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...
