Happy Friday!

This will be my last post as an Ampersander, a fact I am still

trying to get my head around.  As of Wednesday

August 12 at 5PM, I will be a retired person.  It has been a

wonderful 22 plus years that I have been doing this job and

I will miss it more than I can say, especially the people.  I have

loved selling books, getting excited about books and sharing

my passion for books with others.  I have the best co-workers

in the world and I’m tearing up as I write this because I will

miss them so much – they’re the book family of my heart.

I hate goodbyes so I will say farewell instead; until we meet again.

All the best,

Dot

These are the 22 roses from my

Ampersand family – aren’t they

beautiful?
