And so it is done!

Well, the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived. Steve is fully retired! We have to admit, for a totally expected and planned-for day, it is still pretty overwhelming. We are feeling a little like we did when we brought Montana home from the hospital, the “What have we done?” feeling.

34 years in information technology is a pretty good run. We will celebrate properly with all of the kids later this summer. But for tonight we are doing what Steve calls a “fitting activity for retirement day” - playing Bingo with our friends at the community grange. Perfect!

He is making it LOOK like he is still doing work, but that’s actually a screen saver on the monitor.

A video from a coworker (volume on).

Hanging out with colleagues at the water cooler one last time.

This afternoon his countdown board was down to decimals.

Time for the last call of his career.

Capturing those last few minutes on film - this man looks relaxed and ready to retire!

And so it begins….

It begins with bingo? Oh dear!
