We are having a great week. The boys had their annual camping weekend at Dolliver Park and the girls spent the weekend in Moorland. A good time was had by all.

Joe stayed on with Grandma and Grandpa this week and he has been helping us complete some much needed chores. He is earning hours for Confirmation and we are sure benefiting from that. While the boys were camping last weekend a guy came by and cut down a tree in our yard that was nearly dead. He only charged $100.00 but we must move the debris. Joe has been helping with that between rain showers. He has also done a little raking and traveled with us to Plover where he helped clean up some very old grave stones that were not very legible because of moss and fungus growing on them. That was a pretty big job but it is much easier to read some of the stones of Ronnie's ancestors. Much appreciated.

We had a nice visit from Mary Jane this week. On Wednesday we had dinner with friends at Olde Boston. Great time was had by all.

Yesterday one of my friends from work gave me a retirement card and some cash for a meal out with Ronnie. Today two of my friends took me to lunch at the Sport's Page and gave me some gifts and a big cookie shaped like a heart that said "Happy Retirement". I told them that I hope they will still call for lunch once in awhile. That is something that I will miss. Some dear friends. Tomorrow is my last day to work. It will be strange but I am looking forward to all of the things that I have promised myself and Ronnie and my family that I will be doing. I am so blessed to have so much.
