Our work week is done so now we can relax for two days. My daughter, Becky, came last night...arriving at the Rahway train station about 7:30 p.m. Downtown Rahway, near the train station is quite pretty.From the drop-off area, outside of the train station I could see Becky's train arrive and it was only two minutes overdue from its schedule. Outside the train station was an exhibit called the "Mom Memorial". There were upright cut-outs of soldiers and on each one were broken hearts with the word Mom written across them. The memorial displays the impact that the death of every soldier from the Afghan/Iran conflict has on the soldier's family. The family's heart is broken and the mother is the central figure in the family. There was a broken heart for every soldier killed in the current war. Was really something to see...
Raining tonight off and on....much cooler today and it was very windy. The area around our building seems to have its own vortex going on. One of the assistant managers was telling me about the time that they had the sandwich board(that displays our current move-in special) out in front of the building, the wind picked it up and over the six lane highway and sent it through the windshield of a brand new car at the dealership on the other side of the highway. Holy cow ! That must have been some wind !! I can imagine that was an interesting conversation with our corporate headquarters when we got THAT call from the dealership..."Hi, this is Sansone Motors and we have your sign over here...Ah, actually it came sailing across the highway and went through the windshield of one of our cars." I've been a little reluctant to put it outside if there is any wind and there ALWAYS seems to be wind here.
I feel like I've accomplished alot this week here at work. Today I worked in the apartment and replaced the door knobs and some of the hardware on the bedroom bi-fold doors. On Wednesday the carpets will get cleaned. The other day I got some oven cleaner and tackled the oven and broiler pan....it was really nasty. We hung a new light fixture in the dining room, cleaned the light fixture in the kitchen and I took measurements so we can replace the vertical blinds in the living and dining room. The apartment is just about ready to go ! Now we just need to find the right applicants to work here and we will be all set.
