The Long Weekend: Part 1

I had a lovely four-day weekend with Tru, with friends, and with much food.  This will be the week where I take turkey sandwiches to work every day.

Today is a special day at the office, as I will tell the Powers That Be about my impending retirement (last day of work will be December 31).  Hurrah!

Back to the weekend:  it started off quietly.  Tru and I took a walk at Meadowbrook Pond Park on Thursday -- it was sunny all four days (though a bit nippy) and we had beautiful views of the pond and the birds.

    Oh, that's exciting. I hope telling them goes well. You must report! Nice photos too.

      It was most gratifying to give notice -- many people said "Oh no, what will we DO without you?!?" and many gave congratulations and many were envious (including some faculty). They all understood my desire to depart. I asked them to bring me lots of farewell chocolate!

    I agree with Dewey; I'm eager to hear how the notice went.

    Also, I love the splashy foot on that first mallard shot.
