My last week …….

This is my last week at I.C. It seems so surreal, this has been planned for nearly 2 years and now it’s here I can’t believe it.

My replacement has been trained, she is amazing and will do a great job. I have been slowly taking home all the ‘stuff’ I have accumulated in my office over the last 28 years, 2 months and 4 days. Fr J has given me the statue of the Immaculate Conception that I have had in my office for about 25 years. Msgr J gave it to me when they found it stuck back in a closet in the church, she has a few chips on her gown but she has the most beautiful face and I really, really wanted to take her with me.

LD (daughter)& RF(granddaughter) are throwing me a combination birthday party and retirement bash on Saturday evening. They have been planning it for weeks. Should be fun.

Lots of stuff going on this week, Thursday the office staff are taking me out for my birthday to El Porton. Friday nite we are all going to Santo Coyote for margaritas and guacamole & cheese dip. LD will join us just in case I need a designated driver to get me home. Still does not feel real.
