Saturday at the library-
I am not real pleased to be here. It has been a hectic week and I think I should of/would of stayed home and rested (my stomach) but, alas, it was not to be.
Jamie retired this week. I cannot imagine working (or living for that matter) 35 years in one place. We partied it up big since she deserved it.
On Wednesday we had a formal tea. About 120 people came I think. We used china tea cups and had spring flowers all over the placed. We had a formal tussie-mussied made for her to carry.
Last night we had the staff (and former staff) dinner at Lenny Millers. Speeches were made, tons of food eaten, presents given and received. I think she felt truely appreciated. Sue and I were in charge of both events. It wasn't like we did except delegate and make and double check lists and buy food and bake. But it was exhausting. We had good times at both events but I'm glad they are over.
Now, I'm gearing up to go and see Minderz next week. We are taking the train on Friday, coming back on Saturday. I am a trifle anxious about keeping Suzie entertained on the train and getting her from one place to another on foot. (We walk when we are in the windy city, but Sue is not a great walker.) But I will get to see my Lake and my girl.
