WONDERFUL.<br /><br />Our father's both were in the service for 20 years and then in then one went private [mine] for the next 20 while my beloved FIL stayed in the Secret Service. They both retired after their 40 years and reaped the benefits of extended tenure in both.<br /><br />Pooldad works in a business that has a small community, so he has only worked at two companies in 35 years [he has 6 years until retirement]. The first for 26 and the last for 9. I am insanely proud of him too, knowing that he could have his pick of any pool company in our state [on his reputation] but he is a loyal company guy and will continue until her retires from where he is.<br /><br />And it can't come soon enough. I will count with you for yours. [first] YAY!<br /><br />[And those 9 person tents fit more than you think, believe it not. Although I am sure our idea of tent camping at this point is Motel 6. giggle]<br /><br />Congrats again to hubs!

I was 70 when I did that. Yep that was early this year. In fact we were in our motor-home enjoying the Davis Mountains when I got a call from my last client. I made it clear that I was retired.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917085678707439343.post-44633534824242580012013-07-16T18:02:05.588-04:002013-07-16T18:02:05.588-04:00I made it 34 years and said enough.

He deserves it more than anyone I know. Now, as for the gift... you might not be getting that bike back, so why don't you go ahead and order the bike. :) Just kidding... thanks for letting me use it!Sarah Mekeelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465948511942884233noreply@blogger.com
