Ryan and Sara hosted a birthday and retirement party for me on Sunday, March 23rd. The weather looked bleary when the day started but by the time the party started, it had turned around and was sunny and breezy. Ricky, Steve, Lori, Pete, Traci, Pervis, Ridge, Jessica, and Mary came out for it. Ryan cooked a brisket and the others brought sides. It was all delicious. We had cheesecake, cookies, and red velvet cake for dessert. Sara made me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, Lori and Steve gave me a game and Traci gave me a very thoughtful card. It was a great afternoon of eating and having fun. Hard to believe I have just five more days of work!
