We love to read our daughters' blogs. They actually help us keep up with them, and the pictures are fun--we can go back to them whenever we want. And the best part is seeing our granddaughter, Anna-Jane, who lives far away in Colorado. Between the web-cam visits and blogs, we feel a bit closer than just by phone. So, since we enjoy their blogs, we've decided to try blogging, too.

Retiring from Baylor and on to new pastures....

Retiring from Baylor School of Social Work


On Friday, Oct. 3, I officially retired from Baylor, where I've worked for the past 10 years. However, I'm not retiring to sit and watch soaps and eat bon bons and babysit my granddaughter (now THAT part would be nice!). I have loved working at Baylor School of Social Work, so this was a hard decision. But, an offer from the Veterans Administration Hospital in Waco was just too good to ignore. I'll start on the 14th, and I'm excited, nervous, everything all rolled together. It's a chance to work with our veterans, who have fought for our country, given up much and are still working to cope with memories that those who haven't been there can hardly imagine.

But back to Oct 3: the School of Social Work gave me an amazing last day! I knew they were planning a lunch, but i thought it was pot luck like we usually do--so I made salsa! I was a little shocked to find out it was a catered lunch of good ol' Texas barbecue--VERY good! I was overwhelmed with it all, by the words of affirmation, friendship, and prayers. I have been so blessed to work with everyone there.

The team sang a song for me!
