Retired Rascals - Eleven Years

My work buddy, Hank, and I decided we would retire the same day. That was 11 years ago today. Ever since then we have met for breakfast on each anniversary of our retirement. So here we are, enjoying our eleventh! anniversary breakfast at Elmers. As usual, we had a great time.

We had the sweetest waitress, Erin, who made the meal a fun experience. She shot the picture for me. Thanks, Erin.
