Retirement is Here

Hi Everyone:  Well, the day is finally here and I am officially retired.  I had a great send off by my co-workers and thank you to them all.  I was presented with a Memories Book that was done by members of my department and it was filled with wonderful pictures and words of congratulations.  A big THANK YOU to all of them.  I was wined and dined over the past week and today it was a walk about to say "so long" and not good bye. Today, I received a wrist corsage and thank goodness I wore something that matched.  It had beautiful roses, orchids and of course it wouldn't have been complete without the bling bracelet.  How well they knew me. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at BCLC and will miss the people because over the years you have become my friends.  I will be staying in Kamloops and will see you from time to time.

I was also presented with a Memory Box filled with cards and well wishes as a number of items that will remind me of my years with BCLC as well as a beautiful charm bracelet with some charms to get me started and especially the friendship charm will be near and dear to me.  The reality of it all finally came when I had to turn in my badge for the last time.

I now have Thank You card to make, however I did manage to make a Thank You banner that I would like to share with all of you.
