Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
Happy weekend to you all!
My family is getting together on Sunday for Father's Day. So I'm going over today to get laundry done, and while it's going, I'll help mom and dad set up the house. I still need to get some Father's Day cards as well.
Things have been pretty much a status quo here. Nothing new or Earth-shattering.
Trenton is starting second grade in September, I can't believe how quickly he's growning.

Chuck, I was wondering if you got Friday off, since Juneteenth is now a federal holiday?

Hello Lee!
No, we didn't get it off. The bank felt that the decision to make it a national holiday came too close to the day itself, and that it would cause an inconvenience to our customers to suddenly be closed. What the bank did was give all employees what's called a "floating holiday", meaning we can use it any time during the year.
Next year, we will observe it and the bank will be closed.

I’ve heard of other companies giving days off. So far no recognition at the paper. Might have to wait til the next contract negotiations, unless ... the paper wants to make a gesture of its reckoning, which it seems eager to do. I’m sure if another PTO day required union approval they’d be OK with it.

Happy Father's Day!
It was a busy day today! I got to mom and dad's place about 11:00, and finished helping them set up for the gathering.
Everyone else showed up at about 2:00, and sat, ate, talked, laughed, and had a good time. Everyone left about 6, and I stayed to help clean up and went home about 7.
it's been hot and humid here today, and I'm thankful for central A/C. It's currently pumping, and apartment is cooling. It's just before 9:30 pm tonight, and it's still 85F out. The apartment is about 70 now.
