Mike questioning how we managed to fool him so well!
Sandi, my mother-in-law, decided to have a surprise retirement party for Mike several months ago. We chose the date, 8.15.09 so Alicia and her family could be here, sent the invitations, made the trip to Sam's Club, etc. I still am amazed that Mike didn't have a clue! With 4 pretty young grandchildren (ranging from age 2 to age 8), it was incredible they didn't spill the beans!!!!!
The kids made a "Cards for Mike" box
It was a beautiful, hot August day for an outdoor party. I'm not sure of the final head count because we stopped counting at 80 people. The favorite moment was when Mike prayed before everyone started eating. His voice cracking, he thanked the Lord and stated how overwelmed he was to have everyone there. My father-in-law is not a crying kind of guy, so that moment made all the preparations worth it! Love ya, Mike!
Along with many cards and gift cards, Mike received 7 dozen golf balls. To say golf is a passion of Mike's would be the understatement of the year! Mike also received a "Viagra" box from the Anderson family, which created alot of laughter by everyone.
