January (1)

Well, January 5, 2007, was the last work day for me, although I was still the elected Clerk until January 7 when the new clerk was sworn in. I took my staff to breakfast and they gave me lots of retirement cards and gifts. I really enjoyed my years as the Gem County clerk.


The bus garage had a really nice dinner for Terry. They presented him with lots of “gag” gifts and some really nice things. They assured him that he will be missed a lot. The fun things kept happening for several days until he finished his last workday on January 12.
B & W Fuels, about two blocks from our home and owned by the School Bus Shop Superintendent, left fun signs for us and the whole community to read.
They were a great bunch of people to work with.
We can’t believe it; we are finally on our way at about 9:00 a.m. on January 13. We started out really good. About three hours later we were parked in at Les Schwab in Twin Falls putting two new tires in the pickup. We stopped at a rest stop outside of Twin Falls and Terry spotted a tire that was separating. It is a good thing he spotted it because it could have blown really easily. What a way to start our retirement!!
