After pickleball on Thursday, my youngest daughter, Shauna, sent me a text message. She was back in Albany, New York to get sworn in to the New York State Bar and receive her certificate. I wrote about the near disaster during the first day of her bar exam in this post. This time in Albany, she had someone take a few pictures with her cell phone and she sent them to me. First up, the offending trash can that nearly kept her out of the exam center.

Next up, her swearing in ceremony and certificate.

Her New York State Bar certificate

If you haven’t followed the link to the post about her exam, I encourage you to do so. Gaining admission to the bar is a long, drawn out process. After taking the exam in July, she started working for the international law firm Mayer, Brown in Washington DC. She also works out of their New York City office from time to time. She didn’t receive her test scores until October 28 and only just now was accepted into the New York State Bar.

We originally planned to pull out of Golden Village Palms RV Resort in Hemet, CA tomorrow. We have a couple of open weeks on our calendar. So we decided it would be a good idea to stay put for an extra week and make sure my step-dad, Ken, is fully recovered from his surgery before we move on. I’ve extended our stay here until January 30. Our next planned stop isn’t until February 8th when we’ll arrive at Lake Havasu for the Alpine Coach Association rally and Western Pyrotechnics show.

The extra week here will give me time to catch up on a few chores and also keep us active playing pickleball every day. The people here are very friendly and we enjoy the comradery and competition on the courts. I found out they have two indoor courts here for rainy days!

We’re enjoying the mild weather. The nights cool to the upper 40s and the daytime highs are in the 70s.
