This weekend we went to Murray to celebrate my Dad at his retirement reception. We went up Saturday after Morgan's swim lesson and made it in time to watch the Derby! My Grandma made mint juleps (mine a virgin) and we all wore hats! We even put money into the pot and drew names for the horses...of course Jeff drew the winner!
It was a chilly and wet weekend (one's that we have been used to lately) in Murray but that didn't dampen our fun! Sunday we filled our bellies full of Mexican food and right before we ate dinner Morgan asked where the Cinco de Mayo decorations were! Gotta love that Handy Manny show on Disney! Ha!
Dad's reception was at his office on Monday afternoon. Carrie made it just in time! It was just wonderful and many people said some sweet things about Dad and what he has meant to Murray Sate. The news even came to interview him to do a news spot on the reception! It was wonderful to see all the kind people who made their way in the rain to say good bye to Mom and Dad. Dad even got up and said a few words.
We all are so very proud and very excited for the next chapter in my parent's life. The actual move will be a bitter-sweet moment for me. But there will be many new memories to be made at the beach!

A neighbor cat named Stripes came by to see Morgan!
This cat is so sweet and will stand there as long as Morgan will pet her. Too bad our own cat Josie won't do the same!
