Josiah has been consistently looking for work since we moved! He’s been a trooper though it has been discouraging. I kept telling him that in a college town such as this he’d probably find that they don’t hire 16 year olds.
He had an interview and call back from a Chick-Fil-A a couple of weeks ago. The man wanted to hire him but didn’t really need to hire someone. We felt that it was a good experience for him and we talked about how he could interview better. He turned 17 on the 9th.
Today he got a call to interview at the Chick-Fil-A in the mall. He went. He just called to say that they hired him. He begins tomorrow. He’ll be working 20 – 25 hours a week but NO SUNDAYS!!!! because the company isn’t opened on Sundays.
He forgot to ask what min. wage is down here…considerably less than in AK but that is fine. He really wants to save for a car and for life after he graduates…so this is good.
Every night at family worship Nolan has been saying “pray that Cy gets a job” and I know it’s gotten a bit wearing on Josiah to hear it night after night but Nolan will be SOOOO excited. {G}

FOUR big pieces of exciting news early this Monday a.m.
1. The boys are really into Brian Jacques Redwall series. We got them about 8 of the books for Christmas. They purchased two more from Amazon on Saturday but what is really exciting to them is that they were able to get Pearls of Lutra from the Paperback swap and it is ON ITS WAY to them. I'm going to find it interesting to see how the shipping compares - Amazon vs. media rate.
2. Hogans Heroes arrived last week - twice. {vbg} One set took weeks to arrive the other came in 2 days as promised on the website. UPS will pick up the second copy today.
3. River City Produce is the company that I did business with 3 1/2 years ago when we lived in San Antonio and I ran a produce co-op. There is a group here in town starting a produce co-op this week. I was invited to join. The truck will bring produce to a town 45 min from here every two weeks. It's from River City Produce....the prices are still great and I'm dreaming that the produce is still much fresher than anything we find on a store's shelves....because you eliminate the middle man. They are doing things a bit different...instead of all the money going in and buying shares....you order just what you want and hope that others order enough to make up the case....but I think it will work well.
4. Chonda Pierce is coming to town. I wondered if we could get enough folks to go from the chapel to get the group rate. I wasn't able to attend chapel yesterday but it's been reported to me that we got 10 to sign up in a "snap". I'm excited...one to have a fun, clean night out and two that people were interested in going from the chapel. Mike won't be able to come because it is the same night as Gospel Explosion....but maybe Arielle would go with me for a fun girls night out.
I started this to share two things...the book and the fruit and look...this IS going to be a good Monday. {g}
