Beverly & Ward Carter, Us, Cindy & Greg Sunset 
We were invited to a special retirement dinner for Jim and his friend, Paul Epner, who both are retiring this year. Paul, October 31st, and Jim, December 31st, 2008. Jim's boss flew us in on November 21st for the weekend to attend a dinner at a wonderful restaurant, The Stained Glass Wine Bar Bistro, in Evanston, Illinois. We were able to see old friends and gather one last time with company friends. We flew in Friday morning and met our friends, Connie and George, for dinner that evening in Gurnee. The next morning we were able to have breakfast at Wild Berries Restaurant in Libertyville with our friends, Tim and Marie Spencer (we're so trying to get them to move to Texas since he's job hunting anyway). After breakfast we drove up to Kenosha, WI to meet my sister Pat and her husband, Chuck at the outlet mall. Boy was it cold! We didn't stay long (no hats). That evening we drove to Evanston for the dinner and on Sunday left to return to Texas. We sure packed a lot into 2 days, but had a great time. Jim is counting down the days and is a little sad that his retirement was pushed back by a month, because his boss was not able to name is replacement by November 30. Oh well, we have the next 30 years to look forward too.
