Retirement Party

It was a long day today. After working from 1A-9A at the Holland Rescue Mission I had a quick turnaround and headed to the Finish Line for one final shift from noon to four. After two and a half years of working at FL I'm able to quit with Kate beginning her new job at Spectrum later in the month. Kate and I recently figured out that I have been working two jobs since the fall of 2005. So glad to be transitioning out of this phase of life!
Much to my surprise when I got home from Finish Line this afternoon Kate had made a sign to greet me that read Happy Finish Line Retirement Day. I smiled and thanked her for the kind and fun gesture. Oh, but the party was just getting started. Kate had prepared a wonderful dinner, Chicken Rissoto, and had a double chocolate strawberry two layer cake as well. I was so out of it tired that Kate counted that I passed by the cake three times before realizing that this wonderful masterpiece was sitting there on the counter! It was such a wonderfully magnificent dinner and dessert. All I wanted to do in "retirement" was to take a nap since I was so sleep deprived and due to the fact that I am getting up there in years being retired. All in all a faboulously tremendous day with my Bright Eyes!
Here's a picture to prove it :)
