Today was the 10th anniversary of the dialysis company I work with called DaVita. All of us got to celebrate by going on an Argosy Cruise around Elliott Bay of Seattle.
The weather was perfect with much sunshine and warmth. Inside the boat, everyone was happy, having drinks and later a perfect meal with spinach ravioli, chicken and salmon. All the administrators dressed up like pirates taking over the boat! The regional director had many compliments about our work, stating that we were first in the company to reduce catheter rates. We were excited with joy at the success! There was also a raffle for many prizes, including an I-Pod, a camera and a large flat screen television. No one could wait till took them home!

However, I did not have any luck because I didn't come home with any prizes. But my stomach was full and we spent an enjoyable day on the water overlooking downtown Seattle and Alki Beach.
This sounds like such a special, feel-good day! The photo is great; did your husband take it? It is very well-written, and now I am remembering how you can make a story out of anything. This is the mark of a good writer.
ReplyDeleteTeeny, tiny grammar points: Ten-year Anniversary (should have a dash because the two words are modifying anniversary)
Everyone couldn't wait should be no one could wait (because of the negative aspect)
"Also" feels strange; "However" or "Unfortunately" would work better.
Good writing! Through your post, it seemed I had been there as well. I enjoyed reading it.
