This and That
We are back in Massachusetts for our annual doctor's visit and as always we look forward to renewing old friendships and seeing family.
We came in early this year as we were invited to a Air Force Retirement ceremony for our friend MSgt Steven Crowley. The formal ceremony was impressive and presented well. The schedule of events were as follows: Welcome, Official Party Arrival, National Anthem, Invocation, Retirement Orders, Flag folding ceremony, Comments from the Commanders, Presentations, Comments from Steven and lastly the Official Party Departure. Can you believe I forgot my camera? DAH!
After all the pomp and circumstance, the Irish lived up to their image and partied hardy. It was such a grand night and allow us all to thank Steven for his 23 years of service to our country and to show our appreciation for his distinguished career.
Wow, It sure was warm today. You know what I did? Spent the day in the pool, only coming out meals and bathroom runs. Boy, I'll pay the price tomorrow catching up with the work left undone today. And how was your day?
