Two Momentous Occasions

Bryan's first time to vote

And John's Retirement Party!  Bryan's voting was listed first, because there are fewer photos...John's party had many more.

So, here it goes:

Bryan looking oh-so-smart and sophisticated, having voted, and all.

 The spread at John's party.  It was great food!

 Packing up

 Reading Luci's letter...Luci is more interested in her donut.

 Laven, John's administrative assistant, who planned the whole she-bang.  She did an awesome job.  Luci says Laven is "Daddy's Boss." 

 Bryan with Rita and Baxter Graves.  Baxter is an elder at our church.  We were so tickled that they came.

 Waymon, John's real boss (well, besides me, that is).

 Kevin reading Heath's letter.  Heath teaches at a university about 4.5 hours from here and could not make it in person.

 Listening to Heath's message.

 Audrey called!  All the way from Germany.  Luci was happy because she got to say hi to Maggie and Haley.  Heath called a few minutes after.  Both phone calls were a total surprise and John loved them.  So did everyone else--it was a crowded room!

 Talking to Audrey.

 Luci wondering why it's all about Daddy.  Like most six-year-olds would.
