Colby and I hosted my dad's retirement party on Sunday. We had about 30 people come and celebrate. I didn't get a chance to take any other picutes, someone really needs to help out with that (Kelly?). After 37 years of hard work, he now gets to have a some fun. So far, he's painted my cousin's new condo (Hooray for Sally!), waxed my mom's car, Kelly's car, his car (I'll get to that in a second), my car, and Colby's is next. He's flying to my aunt's house in Washington to help her paint her house, and to visit of course. Not looking like much of a retirement??? Well, he did go out and by himself a bright and shiny new red corvette. It is the second car he has had new that I can remember...he normally drove my mom's hand-me-downs. Everyone that he tells seems to have the same comment, "Good for you, you deserve it!" And he does. My mom and dad are going on a crusie through the Panama Canal in September, and then on to Germany in 2010, I forgot the month. It seems that I am going to be spending a lot of time with my two four-legged sisters, their dog's Maggie and Katie. We are so excited for my dad and mom to be able to have some fun together and travel. Congratulations Dad!
