The past two weeks have been a killer. Between my normal work load, one of my colleagues retires today after 14 years. She gave us less than 2 weeks notice, so I had to organize a retirement dinner, a memory book and gifts, get everyone to cooperate and plan her exit package during that time while being slightly off in the health department for several days plus deal with several new key employees, talk my boss down from millions of projects he likes to start, but never finish at this time of year, get ready for corporate, health and workmen's comp insurance renewals, an irrigation system at home, my daughter's new job and a few other things.I'm going to forget all about this stuff this weekend. Just reading and writing and picture taking.

We just had a retirement party for a co-worker who finally reached an age old enough to make it. She was with us for 30 years. We had a ball. We went to a Mexican place and the staff came out and serenaded her with horns and noisemakers. They then set a glass in front of her with a slice of lime. When I told her it was probably tequila, she asked about the lime. Before I could tell her about the salt, she threw her shot back and was sucking on the lime. It was wonderful. That's how I want to retire.
Didn't mean to go on. I hope you have a great weekend. Sounds like you deserve one.
Good for you...put your feet up and rest a while. XO
Gawilli: Sounds like a great party. Ours was good too. Many people came and there was good conversation and lots of laughs.
Cindra: I have recovered now.
