ABOUT A MUCH NEEDED VACATION

Jack and I have returned from our trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, got back to Boston Saturday evening. Smooth trip down and back, flights went well, had a Kia Spectra for a rental car which served us well. Our efficiency at the Buccaneer Motel was good, and our host and hostess wonderful and hospitable. THE OUTER BANKS ARE BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS!

So much sky, so much water surrounding these barrier islands, miles and miles of clean beaches.... And we had HOT summer weather. Saw wild horses, dolphins, dug into pirate history (Jack loved that), took boat rides, visited the aquarium, ate wonderful food, met lots of friendly folks from all over. Went swimming every day. We're in love!

AND SO IT GOES

I continue to look for a job---currently 30 open applications for employment out there. Haven't heard from anyone for quite awhile now.

And I continue to wish for customers for Juice Plus+. Made lists, thought, prayed, schemed--- but as yet no firm plans for Wellness Presentations or anything that might help me get customers. I have attended one meeting of BNI (Business Networking International) Peabody Chapter--- can attend two more meetings gratis, then must decide whether or not to join and it's expensive.

I am beginning to interview for volunteer positions-1)Beverly Historical Society Receptionist/Docent (-), North Shore Elder Services Medical Advocate (+), Beacon Hospice FREE training at North Shore Community College in Danvers this summer (+).

So today after three days of chill, wind, & rain, I am discouraged, wiped out, headachey...

The good news is that soon it will be June, and June 7-13 Jack & I will be going to the Outer Banks for Vacation!!!

Maybe get a new lease on life, come back refreshed and optimistic.
