Catherine Retires!

 It's official. Catherine is retired. Wednesday was her last day to actually work. Her coworkers threw her a party, and one gave her this wonderful shirt. As soon as she was off work, she came over to the farm to unwind.

 Here's the back.

Friday, we had decided to have a drink in her honor. It was meant to be simple, but lots of folks wanted to raise a glass with her, so it turned into quite a nice little party. I made her a crown of marigolds. Our Autumn Goddess looks so happy!

The bar proved to be a very workable party space.

 Catherine is queen of the bar.

Folks hung around the fire too. Bill and Laura brought a bunch of good food.

Buddy, Rick, and Bill lurk near the food.

I just kept taking shots of Catherine in the bar because she looked so great.

Jane and Titus brought their gang of troublemakers over. Here Melinda chats with Rick and Jane chats with Ed.

Rene and Lori are having fun.

Jane painted an amazing picture for Catherine. It's so appropriate!

 Awwwwww... aren't they cute?
