Wonderful Time at Retirement Luncheon

A wonderful time was had by all Saturday afternoon. The kids planned a late afternoon luncheon for Dad to celebrate his retirement.
Dad loves going to Humperdinks in Arlington, so J.G. took care of reservations so we could take him there. (Dad loves drinking his 'Butt Faces' there!
I had such a great that I didn't even have time for pictures. But, as you can see on J.G.'s blog, he kindly took care of that.

Dad had to great surprises Saturday. First J.G. and I drove him to James Avery and surprised him with this beautiful Alpha/Omega ring. I let him choose his own ring.
Later on when we were getting ready to go to the luncheon, Cindy brought Tommy in with her from Round Rock. When they were nearing J.G.'s apartment, Tommy called Dad to let him know how much he wished he could be there to join him. Tommy kept him on the phone the whole time he was actually walking into the apartment! They both happened to be in the apartment talking on the cells, Dad was giving his back to the door when Tommy continued talking to him when Dad turned around and saw him standing there. Talk about a SURPRISE!
Let me tell you, I don't how many times J.G. , Cindy and I almost gave the surprise away during our conversations. It was hard, but we managed to keep it a secret and it worked out really well.
