Bittersweet!

Who doesn't look forward to the day when they can retire and move to the mountains of Tennessee? A dream for many.....today, a reality for one!

The bittersweet picture to the left has been a typical one in the past, but, one we won't be seeing in the future. The friendship and connection of two men working together for 16 years is invisible to the naked eye, but strongly felt by my husband and his sales manager as they share last words at Ron's retirement party. Both agreed, they were better men 'because' of their working relationship. Now, that's a send off.

I say they are both receiving an MIT degree (Men in Transition!).....

Fortunately, our ever present caterer, Diana Bess made this transition worthwhile by serving Ron's favorite meal -- ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn on the cob, and chocolate cake. Can't let him leave hungry!

The office staff gathered with warm wishes knowing Ron would be 'missed, but not forgotten.'

What's up in them thar hills?
