Joyce's Story
Life
I'm Joyce Aldrich in Mdbg now, by Lake Asbury off CR 218. About 9 years ago, after computer pgming for years, I retired to spend time at the old homestead. I just spent a year working at Kohls and now have been working at Home Depot part time for about 6 months. I transferred from the Fleming Island store to help open the new store at Blanding and Brannenfield (halfway between OP and Middleburg). I worked there until the hubby talked me out of it so we could travel.
Years ago we both played tennis at Boone Park, 'A' teams. My husband still plays quite a bit at the 4.5 and 5.0 level. My knee problems have made it difficult for me to take it up again though.
My husband Sandy, retired from NADEP (IT dept), NAS (DOD Civil Service) 2 yrs ago. I have one son, Russell, age 24 who has finally flown the coop up into Orange Park. He and Sandy have entered a partnership to run the contractor FedX Ground route out in the Middleburg area (also Oakleaf Plantation and the new Walmart and Home Depot area). The area is growing in leaps and bounds.
I have 2 Arabian horses, Remy (Rohara Rembrandt) and Sierra (Tzar's Tsierra) that I love dearly who keep me busy. I do some lite showing of Remy, who if I had around a half mil a year to spend would be at the Arabian Nationals. But I don't so he isn't. *G* My other 'children' are my JRT, Shredder and Amber the kitty.
We do a good bit of traveling now, down to Captiva Island with a ton of friends and 2 boats. We had a blast. We went up to Michigan and Tennessee to visit relatives this last summer. We went to Las Vegas in December with family, staying at Circus Circus. The last time I was there was in 1969 so ...Expand for more
CC was where we spent a lot of time and brought back memories.
We traveled with friends to Detroit for the Jags game this year. We met family also up there and had a great time trying hard to hit every sports bar in town! Every year the Jags have existed, we've traveled with the same couple (sometimes more!) to a different away game. We've been to Tampa Bay, Miami, Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans, Houston, Tennessee (both Nashville and Memphis), Cinncinnati (remember the 8 degree game?), Detroit, Baltimore. I think I missed one or two but anyway, now we're flying since most left are at least 2 days drive away.
We recently went on a cruise down to the Carribean and Mexico with our son and his girlfriend. Her father and tons of their friends (all UPS people...Boo! LOL) also went and made it really fun for us. I loved the snorkeling off Belize the best and would like to go back sans the cruise boat though. Next time the ruins and jungle rope slide will be added to the snorkeling!
My husband just upgraded to a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 bike. He (and sometimes me) goes on rides with our friends usually down and around to St. Augustine, Palatka and Middleburg. They're going on a Poker Run soon. I'll wait for the fall!
Workplace
Worked at BK, then as asst. Mgr. Then Barnett Computing Company (clerk then supervisor). Programmed for awhile for Voyager Ins. & American Heritage Ins then DOD at NAS Jax for 12 yrs. Since 1999 we've had rentals,etc I worked at Kohl's and Home Depot for awhile and was grateful for the activity. I'll be going back to work soon, probably part-time...or else I'll go looney! My husband recently became a Field Appraiser for Duval County.
