After 40 years of working at Cameron, Frankie has now retired!! Yes, that was 40 years working at the same place. On his last day, most of the family (except Steph) was able to go to his work and join them in some of the Last Day Festivities! When we all got back home, we went to dinner to celebrate at Valley Ranch. After dinner, we had a little retirement ceremony at our house. Craig set up the fire pit and and Frankie tossed in his work clothes!!! They burned well, and it was therapeutic!!!
A couple of weeks after the actual retirement day, we had a party for him at Valley Ranch. (I guess we all really like that place.) Lots of folks came out to wish him a happy retirement, and Craig said some very nice things to and about his dad.
Frankie and his sister, Aunt Crissie
Frankie and Ashlee (Clinton's cousin who will keep him out of trouble)
The crowd, including friends, family and some of Frankie's co-workers
More of the crowd - Steph's side, David Beegle talking to Trent and Rachel
Front Row - Uncle Bobby (Frankie's brother, Grandma (Frankie's mom), O.W and June (Parris' dad and step-mom); Back Row - Trent and Rachel, a man I can't make out, Trey (Clinton's cousin who will get him into trouble), John, Jenn, and Steph's parents', Doug and Katherine.
It was a great day, and Frankie is really enjoying his time off. Becky is enjoying having him at home, too! I they are starting to settle into retired life together! Congrats, Frankie (Dad)!

Whoa, another post! I'm so proud! That's cool about Craig's dad - I didn't know he had retired (probably why you blogged about it huh). I think since you're actually blogging then you must be bored today...y'all need to hightail it up here for dinner!
