Blue Ribbons

The El Dorado County fair was cancelled this year because of the virus.  They still let folks submit items for judging.  For the first time in my life I submitted to the fair.  It was quite exciting.  Especially when I came home with two blue ribbons.  One was for the Photography: Selfie category and the other was Holiday crochet: Non-clothing for my snowflakes.
Now I'm trying to decide what my next project will be for the next fair.  It's a bit addicting.

Oh, and I QUIT!!  
As of yesterday afternoon, I am now officially a full time mom to my little man.  I will miss my coworkers, who were among the best I've ever worked with before, but not the work, the stress, the public, or the politics.  Will I go back?  Taking into account my years as a seasonal, I am only six months shy of 10 years of government service and two and a half months short of three full years at my pay grade (which determines my retirement income).  I don't see it happening any time soon, but they don't give "Five Years of Service" certificates to seasonals which really made me upset when I hit that milestone.
