Carol has retired. It's been almost 27 years since I started working for the Federal Government in Lemoore, CA. Now I have passed the torch to someone else. I'm looking forward to having time to do all the things I wanted to do but never had time to do while I was working -- get all those half-finished craft projects finished, start some new ones, maybe even learn some new hobbies, do some work for my church and possibly do some volunteer work, wherever needed. Gee, just thinking about all I want to do wears me out.

Thought I'd share some photos taken at my retirement luncheon on March 28, 2007 and a few taken around the office during my last days there. Some of you (friends/co-workers from years past) may have trouble recognizing some of the "old folks" in these pictures. Enjoy!
