Once a week I post about something I’m loving (tv, movies, books, art, photos, romances, authors, or anything else). So here is this week’s For the Love of…
On a personal note this week, I want to wish my mom a happy retirement! And a happy second retirement to my dad who’s about to finish up with his job too! They just bought a motor home and GPS. I’m thinking we may never see them again.
In all seriousness I wish them a relaxing, joyful, and entertaining retirement. They deserve it.
I owe both my parents a huge thanks for teaching me the value of hard work. They have strong work ethics and give their all to whatever they do. I’ve always admired that about them. Well, actually when I was little I thought that was how everyone went about their work. Then I grew older, got out in the real world, and realized not everyone is like that.
So thanks, Mom and Dad. I owe part of my determination and dedication with my writing to you. Happy retirement to you both!
And just for fun I’m including a pic of the folks. And since they’d probably kill me if I posted anything recent, it’s one of my favorites from their earlier days.

That is so sweet. I hope they have a marvelous time traveling, it sounds like absolute heaven!
What a sweet tribute! And you’re lucky to have such great parents. Love the picture. It’s obvious how much in llove they were.
Thanks, Sarah! I’m excited for them. And a little scared that they’ll be trapped alone together in a motor home for hours at a time. :) I think they’ll have fun though.
Hi Leigh! Thanks for the kind words.
I love the picture and it sounds as though your mom and dad worked hard for what they’ve got now… so glad that they have a chance to enjoy their retirement!
Thanks, Kathy! I’m glad to see my mom take this step. With all the cuts to public libraries here in the US she was working some long days this last year. She deserves some time to travel and enjoy life.
