HAPPY LARRY DAY!

Today was "HAPPY LARRY DAY!"

That's right. Larry has been gone for an entire MONTH!! Sometimes I think Larry must run this place, he's been missed so much.

Larry is our LifeChange Resident Manager. Larry is an integral spoke in our wheel!

So, where has Larry been for the past month?




And what has Larry been doing?

Kissing Fish!




Some of us were able to spend some time with Larry up at the lake and he took me on his boat!




It was a beautiful sky!




Larry and I hosted a staff campground outing! We cooked steak over the firepit, played poker, and Jack made a blazing fire!



In the meantime, we all pulled up our bootstraps and waited eagerly for the day when Larry returned home from his bike ride to the lake! Yes, he rode his bike all that way!! There was many a day when staff would look at each other and exclaim, "I miss Larry!"

So, today, residents and staff alike wore our "Happy Larry Day" stickers. Jon wore his to the post office. I wore mine out for lunch. Vicki even wore hers to the bank where the ladies passed their greetings on to Larry! But I think the happiest of them all was our LifeChange Program men.

Larry is the epitome of today's Dictionary.com Word of the Day, a real sui generis!

I never met Larry when I was at the mission, but he sounds like a nice guy. Great to have good people to work with I am sure! Michelle, was wondering when the mission is going to be on 100 Huntley street. Have been checking the web site but have not gotten the info. You could e-mail me at saskmommy@hotmail.com, if for some reason you would rather not post it here. Thanks Kathy

LARRY!!! He brings so many smiles every day and is amazing at his job. I'm glad he takes his time in chunks each year doing what he loves - but I remember how difficult it is without him! Welcome Back Larry!
