Today is my last day of work at Cherry Hills.  I am retiring once again   I am looking forward to having more time to go visit Mom and hang out with the kids and grandkids.  Maybe I will even be able to travel with John some!

John and I spent this past weekend in Naples, Florida, with a group of LRS Senior Mangers.  Dick and Ag graciously shared their hospitality with us for a luxurious weekend.  We were flown down on the corporate jets Friday afternoon and returned Sunday afternoon.  Friday evening Dick and Ag hosted a cocktail party at the hospitality room at their condo complex.  The food was wonderful, and we saw a beautiful sunset over the ocean.  Saturday they took us all out on their 105 foot yacht for a day of playing in the ocean.  There was food, drink, jet skiing, swimming, shelling and lots of laughing.  Thank you so much Dick and Ag for the wonderful weekend.

What a crazy few days of weather we have been having!  We have had waves of wicked storms roll through.  These storms have been unlike anything I remember seeing before.  The thunder and lightning just go on and on, and it rains hard for long periods of time.  Then, once one storm finally rolls through, another one rolls in.  We had 3.5 inches of rain in our rain gauge this morning from the storms we had the last two days.  The fields are saturated, so I hope the heavy rains are over for a while.
