We say hello every morning&#8230;it&#8217;s a nice tradition!  She is like one of the family&#8230;always something nice to say and always positive.  Pete had already gone to work a couple of hours earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BTW, Pete&#8217;s company, with 40,000 employees, made Pete &#8220;Employee Of The Year&#8221;&#8230;  Not too bad being one our of 40,000!  We are proud of him.  Both of our ex-Son-In-Laws are doing great these days.  Mitch just got a nice promotion and will be running a sector of Direct TV!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Late morning I cleaned my guns including both shot guns!  I do it in the garage so I have plenty of room and plenty of sunlight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns.jpg 960w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2019\/03\/guns-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>We are well armed and so are our friends&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> Today was a do nuthin&#8217; day!

Many of the folks who used to work for Sue and are now retired get together every two months and celebrate retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our daughter, Robin, joined us as she still works for Boeing in Seal Beach.   We had a great time just sharing.  There were ten of us. Everyone except Sue and I are tea teetolers so we bought lunch as our bill was equal to the other eight!  Duh!  I like my marguritas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We tell stories and laugh a lot.  I told them ab out my recent experience when I was invited to a &#8220;Gender Reveal&#8221; party.
