Wind and a Retirement Party

The wind howled all night long and all day, I could hear things clanging and banging outside. I guess this means that spring is here. Although the locust tree doesn't think so yet, no sign of buds on it. The company had a retirement party for the guys that have retired recently tonight. They honored 4 guys, John was the only one that actually retired, one died last year and they talked about him and gave a gift to his widow, the other two are on long term disability from injuries, so they won't be going back to work. It was a nice event, they had food and cake as well as a program. They also gave each of them a clock, it's got an electric meter from the 20's on it, that actually works, it keeps track of what the light uses. Retirement is beginning to seem real now!
