recently posted about finally retiring, which i did on december 15. we have been at our place in bozeman MT since then until a few days ago. my new job down there is being grandpa

its about the best job i have ever had !

friday night we were scheduled to have dinner with the top two folks from our clinic. i honestly had no idea that the whole crew was coming to give me a retirement party ! [ i might have run away if i had known ].

we had a great time and then they presented me with a gift.... a lever gun...since they know my interests.

at home and at work i am known as 'the bear' .... i like to think its because i am fierce and surly.... to be feared greatly. my son, the first born, has to spoil this by pointing out that he gave me this nickname because i was like Pooh bear... [ dont listen to this, i am to be feared...please ]

the rifle was a custom order from Henry, a 44 magnum. the pictures tell it all.

most touching gift i have gotten, and is instantly my favorite rifle... a true ' bear gun'

Nice!!

Enjoy your retirement and your new rifle!

And, 'Grandpa' is the best job I ever had!

Congratulations on your retirement and enjoy every minute of your new job. I agree with Hoot. Grandpa is the best job going.

Congratulations on your retirement and "new job". Grandkids are such fun we sometimes wonder why we didn't have them first! That Bear Rifle is indeed a lovely bit of work. How does it shoot?

Congratulations on your promotion!

Lots of love there.

The little one's a lot cuter.

Job. If I'd a known how fun it would be, I woulda skipped the middleman.

Great to see you and you grandson. Life is good.
