Cindy completed 10 years with LACDC. As such, she was granted a sabbatical for an entire month! There were many, many, MANY volunteers that pitched in to help with the everyday tasks. We would like to thank all of those that stepped in. We could not have done it with out all of your help!
Cindy’s Sabbatical…she states: “For one month, I was out of the door and never looked back. I was a model sabbatical taker. I never ran out of things to do, places to go or friends to hang out with.
I packed up my un-air-conditioned car with poolside apparel and headed south to Las Cruces. I spent the first night in Socorro, which actually was a lot smaller than I had imagined. In Las Cruces, I discovered a fabulous used book store with room after room of every type of book you can imagine. A book lover’s fantasy!
I also gained a tolerance for wayward tourists. I will no longer get impatient with drivers who can’t quite decide which lane they want to be in.
Lazing by the hotel pool with a “new” used book was totally luxurious! Las Cruces mid-May temperatures were just perfect. I also enjoyed a quick buzz from a cup of “Day of the Dead” coffee in Mesilla.
A great plus to having time off was getting to know friends better because I had so much more time to do things! That was probably the best thing to the month off – better friendships. All in all – one good time!”
