Dan's Retirement Party

Dan's retirement party was June 16. Everything went well, everyone had a wonderful time! Many friends and family came out to celebrate with us! Dan was very happy with the party. YAY!

Dan is loving retirement and I am loving it right along with him! We found a cottage and are in the process now of buying it!! It is small 2 bedroom, 1 bath home on a large all sports lake that is part of a chain of lakes. It is on a nice piece of property and includes a pole barn. Sharing a few photos, mainly of the view and the yard. I will share more of the inside and more details when it is officially ours.

Dan has lots of plans and ideas for the property. We look forward to the time we will spend there.

This is going to be a quiet, peaceful and relaxing get away.

Dan's retirement party is this Saturday. He really didn't want a party, in fact he refused to have one for a while, but gave in. So many family and friends want to celebrate this happy time, so he agreed. It will be a great time! We are having it at a hall, the VFW that Dan is a member of.

Much Joy and Love

Beauty Treatment for Bentley

We have new dog grooming business in our town, Aunt Linda's Pet Grooming. Since Bentley was in great need of a bath, we decided to have him try out the new place.
He did very well there, looks gorgeous and we really like Aunt Linda's! I love the fact that it's right down the street, less then five minutes away. I think we will take Patch there in the near future for grooming.
Thank you Linda and staff!!

Here is our pretty boy posing.
