Weekly Ephemera #20

• 
  On Friday the Wife officially retired.  Mom and I attended the Wife's going away party and school Mass.  It was obvious how liked the Wife was at her place of work.
  
  As a surprise parting gift, the school athletic department renamed the school mascot "Sherri Skyhawk".  I think she was happy. 😊
• This weekend being Memorial Day, Mom and I went to put flowers on the family graves on Saturday.  We enjoyed having lunch with my favorite Uncle and Aunt.  It was a beautiful day to be out and about.
• This week was a rainy one and, between that and my laziness, I only did one 4.7 mile (7.6 km) hike up at Hitchcock.  I've been skipping hikes a lot lately and it can't continue.   Not if I want to get stronger and make my Appalachian Trail hike less painful.
