on the sunny side of the street.

today is my dad's last day at work. he worked for hewlett packard for 33 years, his one and only job after college. 
he walked to and from work every day, AND made the trek home at noon most days to have lunch with my mom. 

when i was younger, and interviewing for job positions, i was often asked the question "what sets you apart from others?" and my response was always the same, "if there is anything my dad taught me, it's how to work hard", and i meant it. (i usually got the job, ha!) 

my dad is such a rock in my life and such a great example of hard work and dedication, both in tangible and spiritual applications. 

i wanted to put something together for him (retirement is a BIG stinkin' deal after all) and had seen this idea done before here and here

i convinced all of my siblings to play along with 24 hours notice and here's what i came up with. we're showing him at dinner tonight!

congratulations dad, happy retirement!
