Family Photo

Today Bernie was given a farewell retirement morning tea at his workplace. (He doesn't actually retire until 16th November)
He has worked there for 42 years.
Most of our immediate family was there except for Bernie's young brother. We had this shot taken while most of us were together.
L to R - Terry, brother in law, Gabe (our son), Marj, Bernie's sister, myself & Bernie, Lynda, (our daughter), Helen, my sister, Narelle, our sister in law, Iain, (married to Narelle), my brother and Allan, my eldest brother.
So here we are, the next generation of "grey nomads". :)
I like it when we can all be together.

And there I am... right in the middle... the real 'little person' out of the lot of ya's!

I really did take after my Great-Grandmother, didn't I? :P

That's a happy/sad day when one retires. I hope Bernie has hobbies so he can keep busy.

I've just commented on Londa's photos from this celebration. The start of the next stage of your life Bernie. Enjoy it! How special to have the family along to share the day.

@peterauliciems - you're not wrong Peter. Bernie started there a week after we were married. :)
