101 ~ New Marketing Job

By Kay Heitsch

After working for a company for a while, they asked if I would be interested in doing Marketing for the company. I figured doing Marketing would give me a little break from the memory care center.

So, I worked on marketing in the morning, usually 5 days a week, and was still with "L" 7 days in the afternoon and evening.

I worked all these hours because I needed the money, since Brandon was now in college, and all the money I made went to the school.

I had never done marketing, so I decided to try something different: baking Grandma Z. cookies and packaging them in a bag tied with ribbon, complete with my business card. I had brochures with all of the company's information that I left at each location.

I went to nursing homes, hospitals, churches, and doctors' offices. apartments and condos, etc. I returned to some locations, and they were always happy to see me. They also enjoyed the cookies

One day, I was walking around passing out the brochures at some condos when a man opened the door. I told him why I was there and gave him a brochure.

Out of the blue, he said, "I don't want you to think I'm coming on to you, but are those your real teeth?" I cracked up and told him, "Yes, they were." I use Dr. George's Dental White on my teeth, and he said he had never seen anyone with teeth so white.

I enjoyed Marketing and met a lot of people. It was something I had never done before, and it was a great experience. But soon I realized it was more important for me to spend time with "L" again.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
