The teachers pictured have over 60 years of teaching experience. If you look closely the one on the right is "see no evil" and the one on the left is "speak no evil". These are certainly teachers! The photo was taken at Susan's retirement celebration last Friday. The picture was taken by Marge's husband Lou Carr who for some reason sent 2 copies of this particular photo. I can't imagine why, can you?
Susan was also honored at her final production the MEC Talent show or should I say no talent show. Either way it was another honor Susan day. She got a director's chair with her name embroidered on it. She spent this week (she told me her goals for the week) trying to empty her room and get her piano lessons lined up. I forgot to tell her that retirement means no goals, but she will be okay in time. Now we can sit in seperate bath tubs on a beach and hold hands like in the commercials. (NOT)
I must say that having her home has both rewards and punishments. Rewards include help and hot meals. Punishments include still being ignored, and her being gone a lot.
We saw my dad tonight at related all the retirement stories. He responded with his own memories of his retirement in 1985 after 40 years of teaching. He remembered getting a tennis racket and a week at the resort in French Lick In. At the teacher awards banquet which Susan skipped because she opted to see her grandaughter Taylor's program, the award was a certificate for 34 years of faithful service. That right just a piece of paper. Thanks and don't let the door hit you on your way out. Ya know I think that says it all.
