March 2010

Finally John took it our for a drive, so test the turning radius etc. We drove up Poudre Canyon outside Fort Collins


and more packing
John was retired by now. I was still slaving away. I still had a little fun.

Spring skiing at A-Basin, Lulu
In preparation for moving onto the motorhome I gave away my kitty Lulu. She loved being outside so much I was sure she would just take off the minute I opened the door. Plus I did not want to deal with a cat box on the bus.  I gave her to my friend Sue who had a cat and two dogs and she says Lulu is fitting right in.

My coworkers threw me a retirement party at the Fox and Hound. We had appetizers drinks, wonderful gag gifts-including this lovely Queen of the Road hat, real gifts and lots of socializing.  Some people from my two previous jobs also came. Above from the left, Kris, Toni, Linda, Suep, Pam, Kathy and Christine.

I went to Death Valley for two weeks right before I retired to visit my sister and go on the annual family trek.  To practice being retired! I had to work one day in April for us to have employer paid health insurance, so  I worked one day after Death Valley. We left on our Maiden voyage a couple days later.
