43 years

no, i'm not that old. yet.

we went to pat's dad's retirement dinner the other night. he worked for the same company for 43 years. that doesn't happen anymore! it sure was something to celebrate!!

it was a long night of sitting and listening to people talk for my kids. they did awesome. pat paid them in donuts the next morning :-)

pat's dad and his two sisters.

there was a lot said that night by numerous people about his dad. he is a hard worker, loyal, a talker :-), and a great friend and husband and dad!

it was such a joy to be a part of this special night for him!! we are so proud of him. and look forward to what retirement holds for both of pat's parents!
