    A Gift from my Boss

    My boss and a few co-workers went the the bridge that I fell off of while I was in the hospital and found this sign.LOL. They were curious just where and how far I fell.
    My boss,Derry, waited until he knew I was going to recover before he gave me the sign. I am going to have it framed and hang it in my Livingroom. I guess when you can look back and laugh it's a good thing.

    I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..

    I have a piece of wood nailed up on the wall of my wood shop that caused me to cut off the ends of two of my fingers on my right hand. It is there as a reminder to be careful just as your sign will do for you. Glad to see you doing well, Jeff

    This is great, Greg! Awesome! But it's only awesome because you've come such a long way and doing so well. It's nice to know your boss and others care so much. It's impressive they went out to see the bridge.

    Seeing the sign made me say another word of thanks to God - for your wonderful miracle! :thumbsup:

    Re: A Gift from my Boss

    Perhaps this could be a photo project of the month....

    Take a photo of a sign that represents some event or part of your life. (or something to that effect)

    It might be a tough one to get people to do tho.

    Re: A Gift from my Boss

    Thanks all. The sign is now in the hands of the framers.LOL. I should have it back in a couple of weeks hanging on the wall. Other than a few minor health problems I am doing well. I actually went mountain biking yesterday and went 12 miles through a jungle.
