IT'S GETTING CLOSER

To my retirement date :) I have about 11 1/2 more weeks until retirement :) Yeah! I just started my transition into "getting things ready to go". I sure hope it goes by fast between now and June 27th..........then things can slow down.

March was very busy. I had my 30 year anniversary with Ford. Had a luncheon at Giulio's (not sure how to spell that, but it's the Italian Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency,Dearborn). For my 30 year anniversary gift I ordered myself NEW POTS AND PANS :) Have not gotten them yet, but am looking forward to them!!! Susan had her 23rd Birthday on March 25th. For her birthday I took her and Lindsay to Mt. Pleasant to the Soaring Eagle Hotel and Casino. Susan lost a little moolah - I on the other had left $149 richer :0 Of course between what I spent on the hotel, food, etc.............I was still in the hole . . . . .

For Easter, Linda and Lisa met in Florida - their father was there on vacation so they decided to invade his vacation for a few days. They all had a great time! Unfortuantely I have not seen Lisa for quite a while now so I am looking forward to getting out to Colorado this summer! Lisa now has two dogs - Logan her 1 year old Germany Shepard and Luna her, well, mutt I guess who is just a pup. Luna is short for Lunatic :)

For April we have a wedding coming up. My niece Jenna is getting married on Friay April 25th!! I am looking forward to that. Dick & Michelle will be coming in on April 21st and staying wiht me until the 29th. I am also looking forward to that - I alway hope that while they are there we see deer in the backyard! Just a little standing joke with me & Dick. April will just fly by. May 6th Matt will be 16 and getting his drivers license.................yikes, my baby will be out driving on his own! His is a pretty good driver, but you just never know who else is going to be out there with him....................

That's all for my updates at this time............Except Lisa got a TERM job (4 year position with benefits for the Rocky Mt. National Park). This is great so I don't have to worry about her for at least the next 4 years since she will have medical bennies. Yeah Lisa!!!!! It is also a promotion to a Leader job, so it is a lot to be proud of...........

Until next time.................
