Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension….
September 30, 2011
From before I can remember my dad has worked swing shifts for Arco / BP. There were weeks I barely saw my dad as he would switch back and forth from working days, then nights, trying to squeeze in some sleep in between!! Well, 38 years later he is saying goodbye to this stage of life and entering a new one of regular sleep patterns and maybe even less stress.
Brian and I were more than happy to offer our home to do a little celebration!! It was a fabulous night and was made more special by a surprise visit by his sisters and brother in law!!
We were even fortunate to have Colleen, an amazing Chef, come and cater it for us. Great friends, great food and a great night to celebrate my dad!!
Of course the food!!
Was such a fun party…. here’s the after party!!
Think it’s a little appropriate that it’s blurry… we were tired from all the fun!!
Couldn’t have thrown a party big enough to show all the gratitude we have for my dad for providing more than enough for our family and allowing my mom to stay at home and raise us. Thanks Dad!! We are grateful for all you have done and are excited we now get to spend all / most holidays with you!! LOVE YOU DAD!!!
So happy to be able to attend this special event, and So Proud of my brother, and So Happy that we may be able to spend more time together. We love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on a job Well Done !!!!!!!!!!!!!
