Mom's retirement

[glacier_kitty]

Mom retired today! She didn't exactly want to, but air traffic controllers have to retire at a certain age (56) and mom didn't get another age waver. Sad..her job was so cool! I wish we could have gone to Northway again too. Mom was with the FAA 27 years! They were having a barbeque for her so dad and I went over and had lunch there. Now both my parents are retired..wow haha



Yummy cake haha

The supervisor, Earl, congratulating her and giving mom her award (very Alaskan ;))

Hehe



Well..that's something I've never seen before :P


Oops, skipped 17! A song that makes you want to dance
Hmm..maybe super upbeat ones




Would you rather be caught walking nude on a beach by a policeman or have your car horn get stuck while your car is behind a gang of Hell's Angels? The second one..I'd pull over haha

Today's trivia: In the old days civilian women were allowed to live on naval ships; many became pregnant and had their child on board, usually near the midship gun behind a canvas screen. If the father was unknown, then the male child was recorded in the ship's log as a son of a gun, which is where the phrase originated

Congratulations to your mom!! That is so exciting! :) My uncle also had to retire by a certain age (60) though he totally didn't want to (he was the one who was a pilot for USAir). I love the Mission Statement hehe. :P That cake looks delicious!

Wow, that cake looks amazing! How nice of them to do a whole barbecue thing for her :)
LOL at the t-shirt. What a "nice" mission statement ;)

Congratulations to your Mom! It's too bad she wasn't able to continue working there when she wanted to, but hopefully she'll enjoy retirement.
