Last Day/First Day

Jim's last day of work was a whirlwind and he said it was the perfect day. He was exhausted from all the excitement! They had another luncheon and ice cream party and everyone was so kind. Even the boys got wind of his leaving and came up with their thanks and one boy even made him a present and gave him a note saying Jim was the best teacher he had ever had. Sweet. He has very mixed feelings about leaving the job and place that was, in his own words...A perfect fit for him!

Like his Grandpa before him, Jim always liked to

lay out his work clothes on the hearth the night before~
Last morning to see this!

Last school lunch I will ever make? What in the world...how can it be?

He rushed home just in time for us to
go and pick up Chris from the airport.

Grandma Gloria and Chris

We went straight to Grandma Gloria's house for dinner as she hadn't seen her only grandson in over a year. We all had a happy reunion with him. We did not stay too long as we still had some last minute things to prepare before leaving for Yosemite. Chris hadn't been home since the day before we ripped the wallpaper off the kitchen walls so there was a lot for him to see for the first time. He gave us his sign of approval for the work we have been doing for the last 18 months. It was nice having him sleep back in his old bedroom again! We all slept well and were ready to go to Yosemite in the morning!

Here's a little glimpse of what we saw yesterday!
First day of a future full of wonderful Saturdays! Woot!
