Pictures inside the house

I've been meaning to upload these pictures for almost a week.  Right before we left we took some pictures of inside the house.  As it stands now, we should hear back tomorrow from the seller if they are OK with our requested repairs from the inspection last week...

Retirement Party

There were several people at my retirement party that told stories and said many nice things about our time together (expect for Felicia, but she did what was asked and roasted me a bit and did a great job of it ;)... One person who I'll name later, adapted a poem for me that I thought was very apropos...

Ed Kelty stood at the Pearly gates
His face was worn and old
He stood before the man of fate for admission to the fold
'What have you done' St Peter said
'To gain admission here?'
'I've worked at Maricopa sir for many a many year'
The pearly gates swung open wide, St Peter rang the bell
'Come in, come in and chose your harp, you've had your share of hell'

To my friends at Maricopa, you will always be my extended family, and things will get better...  It just takes a little time...

Hello to my Maricopa Family!

Back on October 12th those that were able to attend attended my going away party.   I have to thank Amber and Teri for putting together something so wonderful. It was great seeing everyone.   Here are some of the pictures from that day.  It really felt good to visit with so many friends and I can't thank everyone enough...  In another post, I'll share a few things that were said...  Pretty funny!
