What a weekend I have had! Friday evening a group of us from I.C. went to Santo Coyote to celebrate my retirement. It was such fun, service was terrible but we were enjoying each others company so much we didn’t mind. As I was leaving i.C. I had a moment when it all hit me. I had turned in my keys and loaded my car and was walking out the back door and I realized this finally was the last time I would be here. Not the last month or the last week or even the last day it was the last moment! I had a knot in my chest and I felt as though I couldn’t breath.
As we were sitting at the table I looked up and there by the door was a man I recognized but couldn’t place, then I realized it was my brother GH from Houston. I know I got up and ran to hug him but don’t recall if I screamed or squealed, knowing me I did both. I was so surprised and pleased to see him. He and his sweet wife VH had driven up for LD’s party on Saturday night. WOW!!!
The next day LD needed me to keep T so she could continue to prepare for the extravaganza she had planned, so I was busy all day caring for him. We went for a walk down the road from the house and he collected rocks and ran and talked non stop. It was a really great day. JB was busy working on our new home project, a green house. I’m so excited about this, we had some fellas out a week or so ago to level the site and now JB is building the forms for the foundation.
The party was amazing, friends from work, old friends, newer friends and family. LD roasted a pig in her back yard and all the side dishes were so good. The theme was Luau so she had inflatable palm trees and flamingos and grass skirt aprons on all the tables, tiki torches, flower leis and she had made my favorite Pla-di-do in a beverage dispenser. It was so much fun and great to see everyone. Suday was a quiet day, G & V left to go back home, L & W & T took the day off to rest from thier labors of the previous few days.
And I spent the day trying to wrap my head around not needing to get ready for the new week at work. Still pretty surreal!
