Grandma's retirement - part one

I am so thankful that Angie is now retired. I'm writing this now a month after her retirement, and I have been blessed already by her willingness to serve and help me and my children during a challenging period in my own life. She's been down now twice! And the kids are always happy to see her. I heard just a couple of days ago, "I don't want Grandma to go home!" I am so glad she is retired. It was such a relief to have another adult with me this last week with my children. She did the bulk of the cooking, cleaning and child nurturing this week; all four of my babies were blessed by her service this week. The Lord's timing could not have been better.

All that said, we did go up to Rockford to help her celebrate, and I took some pictures (of course!). Here are the first couple of pictures - Grandma with her grand-kids.
