Refueling Outage
Our refueling outage at Ginna begins on April 20th. This year I will be working nights - something I haven't done in a long time. The job I will be doing this year only has myself and another woman so we'll be working 12 hour shifts (last year we had 4 of us doing the job). She has a younger child at home so I volunteered for nights. We are going for a record 17 days to be shutdown.
The kitchen is coming along...
Here's a few pics of the kitchen. Flooring is being ordered on Monday so in a couple of weeks it will be done! It's still funny to me that we chose yellow since the living room is yellow too, although they are different yellows. But we're happy with it - always looks like the sun is shining inside our home. The pictures really don't do it justice. Hopefully within a month everything will be done. 
Happy 30th Jamie!
Jamie is the last of the three 30th birthdays this year (3/25). It's still hard for me to believe that 30 years have gone by so quickly! 
Happy Birthday Phyllis
Happy Birthday Phyllis (3/21). Phyllis retired from Ginna Station a year and a half ago. She's been a great friend to me over the years at Ginna and we continue to get together every couple of months for dinner. We have "our" table at Applebee's that we always sit at :)
Happy 25th Jeana
I'm a little behind in my birthday wishes so Happy 25th Jeana (3/20)! It's hard to believe our baby is 25!! This picture is a couple of years old but it's a cute picture of her!

Mike's 50th
On Saturday, we went to the Seneca Niagara Casino for a surprise 50th birthday for "Meleca". Over the years it seems his last name became his first name. We had a great time and I give his wife alot of credit for pulling this whole thing off which she setup just two weeks ago. He was so surprised! There were 20 couples that went. When Jamie and I were getting on the elevator to go to our room, Jamie saw Mike and Darlene coming our way. She happened to see us and got Mike interested in something else while we got on the elevator. What a close call! I didn't gamble much - I'm not really a gambler but I had fun walking around just watching people lose way more money that I did. I lost $40 and that was enough for me!! Jamie lost $20. Here's a couple of pics...the first one is when Mike and Darlene got off the elevator and Mike saw us all standing at the bar...can you say surprise??
