Our big news is that both Scott and I retired as of the end of March! It was a big decision, we both worked past age 65, but we decided that "it's time". Making the decision to retire was a whole lot easier, though, that doing all of the requisite paperwork (Medicare, Social Security, investments, etc.). I'm glad that is all done!

| My (former) employer, Neuco, Inc., hosted a really nice retirement lunch for me and and all of the employees at Neuco. They catered a delicious Mexican lunch from a nearby favorite, Yerbabuena, and I got to stay in the lunch room and greet all of my friends and colleagues. My boss, Gretchen, invited my family and also other recently retired colleagues. Sadly, Gretchen could not be there because she was home sick with Covid. She sent the gorgeous flowers in the first photo. Shown above is daughter Hannah, myself, DH Scott, and daughter Genevieve. |

Later that same week, we attended granddaughter, Ella's, 4th birthday celebration! This was about the first time that our whole family was able to gather since before the pandemic forced all of us to shelter separately. It was a joy-filled day with lots of kids and laughter and cake!
Above is Ella (left) and another granddaughter, Lily (right). In the background is daughter Hannah and her son, our grandson, Henry. I don't think the kids slowed down once all day! |

| Happy birthday, Ella! |
