Well, today is sort of the start of our retirement…I am on vacation for my final week and Kelly will be working at his last Chevron Corporate Fire School at Texas A&M…the great thing is I will be there with him. Our offical last day on payroll is May 11, 2012.

We had a wonderful last day in the Richmond Refinery…it was an amazing turn out for our cake and coffee…we are so blessed..thank you to everyone who was able to make it and share memories with us…it was very special and meant the world to us…the hard part of retirement is not being with your work family… A lot of you shared your email address and phone numbers so we do want to stay in touch. I know time passes by so quickly…but feel free to contact us…it doesn’t matter if it has been a month, a year or 5 years…what ever…if you think about us…a simple note or call just to say “Hi” thinking of you…is always appreciated.

I hope…I can keep the blog exciting…but of course if fuel cost go out of this world…I will really have to learn to be very creative with this blog, as it will limit how far we travel…I look forward to sharing our journeys. Some up coming events…I get to go on a 7 day wine and food cruise leaving on June 2nd with my sister-in-law Maura, who is an amazing lady…who I also enjoy spending time with. We will be cruising out of Rome, so there will be a delay in blog posting until I get home after June 15th.

Thank you again to our Chevron Family….we love you.
