Thanks for the Memories, Janice!

Shanghai Chinese Restaurant posted a photo of the retirement tablecloth and wished Janice all the best on their Facebook page!  Check it out!

And speaking of Janice's retirement party, it was quite the celebration!

The food from Blackbird Bakery was fabulous. . .

 

...the company superb. . . .

... and the Guest of Honor seemed to have a GREAT time!

Janice got her gold watch!

She loved her Coca-Cola lamp!

Joyce totally outdid herself with this gorgeous quilt, pillows, & wall hanging!!

Other highlights for which photos are not available due to inept photographer included

•  the Power Point presentation with all the great old photos (Sister Janice the nun was a popular one, while Princess the fine-seeking dog was an unexpected delight) put together by Doris
• the place mats signed by the staff
• the wonderful poem by Nancy Y. in honor of Janice (copy, please!)
• the 18 1/2 pounds of M&Ms from Joyce & Christian, which made Janice's eyes light up
• a warm speech from Jud, explaining both the Tennessee/Texas connection and why he now likes jalapenos
• Janice's announcement that she would be back to play cards on Tuesdays!

Or, if not cards, then dominoes!

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this party a success and give Janice the send-off she deserves.  The turnout was wonderful! Thank to those who posed for being "Wanted" and for sharing memories. Special thanks to Joyce, Doris, Brenda, Becky, Laurie, Nancy Y., and Nancy P. who put a lot of time and effort into making this a celebration to remember.

Happy Trails, Janice & Bill!
