Barbara + 9 days or 54 hours = RETIREMENT!

FTA Union Dinner Party to celebrate the 100+ teachers retiring this year. I calculated somewhere between 4000 and 5000 years of experience being lost to the district this year. Each retiree got a certificate and an engraved glass apple. We "borrowed" one of the table decorations as they said they should go home. Nice party with several teachers from her school.

Go Celtics!

Grandpa and his favorite Celtics loving grandson Bennie. Check out Bennie's retro Celtics t-shirt. I am so jealous. The Celtics - too old, too slow, too crippled, etc. Everyone but Bennie and I had them through for the year. Now we are two games from facing each other in the Championship series. Of course then .....
Bennie and I will become mortal enemies as our two favorite teams (Celtics for Grandpa and the Lakers for Bennie) will face off. At least one of us remain standing and happy in the end.
GO CELTICS ALL THE WAY!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Barb - a little slow in posting but I did remember in time. A quiet Mother's Day morning. Not quite breakfast in bed but.....
I loved these Corral colored roses. But then we love all roses.

Spring in Full Bloom

Here are some shots of the yard as the flowers are in bloom.

Spring is the prettiest time of the year.
