It is hard to believe that we moved down here 30 years ago this past August. It is equally hard to believe that in just over a week from now, the reason we moved down here will no longer exist! Steve's career at Lilly is ending and where we go from here is not yet known. It would be fun to think that we could be footloose and fancy free - but it is more likely that another job is in the cards within the next few months. We had always thought that at retirement we would be able to have a lake home in Minnesota - hopefully that will still be a possibility in the years to come.
This Thursday Steve is being honored at a little retirement reception at Lilly. I am planning to be there, and so will Matthew and Taylor if possible. Last week Steve attended a luncheon for all 2009 retirees at which he received a pretty funny 30 year parting gift. A Hershey candy bar, overwrapped with another label that read A Sweet Thank You For All Your Years of Service. Oh my!!
