LAST COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY

Today marked my last commencement ceremony.  It was an honor to be the macebearer for the ceremony, which meant I led the faculty procession into and out of the hall.  I also hooded my last doctoral student.  This is a picture of me and my colleagues dressed in our faculty attire.

ANOTHER MILESTONE

I taught my last class 12/10/19 and attended my last meetings at work 12/11/19.  The students brought cupcakes and my faculty colleagues hosted a nice party with cake and goodies.  I will miss the special people at Lewis.  But I am also looking forward to this new chapter in our lives.  Thank you, everyone for your well wishes and a warm send-off!

SHARING WITH FAMILY

Continuing to "clean out" the house.  Glad to be able to give away items to family.  Our nephew, Jeff, and sister-in-law, Carol, were happy to get some garden and yard items.  Carol is a master gardener so she will do great things with these things.  Jeff also adjusted our whole house humidifier while he was here.  Thank you, Jeff!

GEORGE RETIRED!!

On September 27, 2019, George worked his last day at PACE.  They threw him a great retirement party.  Although he will miss seeing "the guys" he's happy not to have to get up at 2 AM and drive the 35 miles to Evanston anymore.

You bet he has plans for retirement!!!

Video Tour of the Bighorn 3270rs

Some of you have been asking, "What does your RV look like?"  The video below is a tour of an RV just like ours.  

Summertime Sorting

The summer has been devoted to going through things we have accumulated throughout the years and deciding what to do with them.  Here's a few photos to capture the process:

These items above we will take to Arkansas for storage until we decide to settle down in a "stick and bricks" house somewhere

These are items to give away to family 

The two photos above are things we are selling on virtual garage sale sites.  I had multiple offers for the cookware, so that went quickly.  Not so much the chess set.  😕

As you can see, we are making good progress!
