Starting to Say Good-Bye...
Our dear friends organized a retirement congratulations and send off lunch for Gari & I. We had a fine meal and fantastic company at the Riverside Grille in Pocomoke City, MD today. As our small town would have it, our waitress Abbey, who was just as sweet and helpful as could be, was the daughter of another one of our work colleagues (who was not in attendance with us today). We shared a bunch of stories at the lunch party, that I know I had not thought about for a long time. It was very fun reminiscing, and also reminded us of how much history we have with our friends and all of the fun and exciting times. That made the reminder of our departure bittersweet. It may be a few years before we see many of our dear friends again, and that is difficult to accept. The picture is all beautiful and handsome smiles, but believe me there were tears and some were mine.
