Sunday

I wanted to show you my retirement gift, but by the end of Friday's post, I was in no condition for pictures or anything else. Anyway, here it is:


They gave all seven of us keys, but each one is different. The teacher who presented them said something about keys to the rest of our lives, yada, yada, but in fact, it's a lovely symbol and a lovely idea. They've never had this many at once before, so there was never any thought of a theme for the gifts. Most of the women's were more ornate than mine, which means that personal thought was put into each one, since I only wear simple jewelry. The best thing about mine is that, without actually meaning to, they got me one with a hidden Mickey in it! So I love it, of course. The one gentleman in our group, who is well known for his service in Special Forces during Vietnam, got a dog-tag with the cutout of a key on it.

Last night the Hubs and I went out dinner with the future in-laws, and really? It was delightful. It was very relaxed, we have a lot to talk about with each other, and nothing awkward about the wedding ever came up. We did banter a bit about how when a baby comes, we'll be fighting each other for 24/7 presence, hah hah, but listen, that baby's mommy is my daughter, y'know?

Anyway, so that's the father's day update for today; happy father's day to you and yours out there. K is making a vegan dinner for her daddy later on, a lovely thought. I'm going to get to my regular Sunday morning bookkeeping tasks.
