Well the holidays are over and a new year has begun. 2008, now known as the year my father retired. In fact his last day was yesterday. It's so hard for me to believe that he will no longer be working. I'm slightly concerned that he will be stir crazy but I suppose that is bound to happen for a bit after retirement. I'm trying to convince him to buy a second home in Silverton so they can come live here in the summer. It doesn't seem to be working, yet.
I called him this morning to see how retirement was going and he was working on renovating his dad's house. He was painting. Not a very exciting way to spend the first day of his 'vacation for the rest of his life.' He should get a part-time job. Oh I know! Somewhere where I could get a discount. OH! I vote for Jo-ann fabrics. That would be sweet. (think about it dad)
Perhaps we will put up a little album of our fun December times so everyone can enjoy some photos. Otherwise all I have to say is...
THANK YOU dad for your dedication and for providing our family with everything we could ever ask for. I love you.
