Back to Work!

             Updated 10/27/09

Brad and Beverly enjoyed several years of retirement, but have now reentered the work force.

Brad is now working for the Dallas Honeywell Branch helping out in West Texas and New Mexico.

Brad was previously contracting back to his old employer, Honeywell, Inc. in Beaumont, TX.  The Exxon Mobil plant was submerged in 8 feet of water during the hurricane.  As a result, almost all of the instrumentation had to be replaced.
He was in Beaumont 8 months.

Beverly has accepted a position at First National Bank of Santa Fe.  Her first assignment was traveling to bank branches that had a vacancy due to vacation or illness.

She was offered, and accepted a job at the local branch only a couple of miles from our home.  She is now a "PBR" or Personal Banking Representative, opening new accounts, making loans, selling certificates of deposits (CDs), etc.

Going back to work has been interesting and fulfilling.  We enjoyed taking a few years off, but it's exciting to start new ventures.

 
Keeping busy was not one of our problems in our first year of retirement, 2006.  Our travels took us from as far south as Palomas, Mexico and as far north to Jasper, Alberta, Canada and a lot of points in between.  We enjoyed many visits from and visits to see family and friends.

In 2007, our longest trip was to the beautiful state of Utah.  We certainly want to return.

In January of 2008, we spent 2 weeks in Mexico thanks to the generosity of our friends Ross and Jane.  We hosted our 3rd Bluebonnet Casita rally (second year in Bandera, TX).  And purchased a new home in October.  In November, Brad accepted the assignment in Beaumont.
 
We are active in the local RV club and we are looking forward to traveling as a group around New Mexico on a few trips next year. 

Stay tuned for further developments.
