"Start The Car" Retirement Party

Party Time

And What are We Crying About

Our Host

Thank you to all of my friends who helped me celebrate my last 30 years and as Tim McGraw says I hope my next 30 years will be filled with those same friends.

Thank you to my brother, Bill, for coming in to support me.

Thank you Jim for being there through 30 years of weekends spent grading papers, filling out folders, averaging grades, completing report cards, and making lesson plans instead of going for a nice curvy ride on the bike. I promise the weekends now belong to you.

Wa-do Daisy for the lovely Native American feather necklace. I will cherish it always and think of you each time I wear it.

Has it really been 30 years? I have worked with some really great teachers during my career and made many great friends. The decision to retire was a difficult one to make ,but I feel that at this time it was what I needed to do for me. I will miss the day to day interaction with the students, as well as the greatest group of co-workers anyone could ever hope for. I am grateful for the opportunity to return on a part time basis to do the part of the job I love without the stress that is put upon teachers.

I have started my car now let's see where it will take me.

Reunion

30 years, 30 Roses, 30 Balloons

Apalachicola Fl, Vietnam War Memorial Mobile Wall

Tradition has it we set a plate for the fallen hero's.

The walk around the memorial reaches deep into your soul and displays respect for the fallen warriors, pride for our homeland and a heavy reminder of the price we pay to live free.

Just like the full size version the list of Honored Hero's seems infinite.

58000

Such a beautiful day to ride up the coast.

Keep the Pets Healthy

Found a interesting article listing a few things we consume daily and will cause major problems or death in pets. This subject seems to come up a lot so thought I would list it for all who might be interested.

1. Fruits and nuts

2. Grapes and Raisins

3. Bread Dough (It will rise in a dogs stomach)

4. Chewing Gum

5. Macadamia Nuts

6. Nicotine

7. Chocolate (I know beagles love the stuff)

8. Alcohol

9. Pain Relievers (One tablet of acetaminophen can kill a cat}

10. Tea (Caffeine in your tea is toxic to both cats and dogs)
