Retirement

After working for St. Louis County Department of Highways & Traffic for 39 years I finally retired. 
Awesome!

Had a nice lunch at work and got some very nice gifts.

Out the door for the last time:

Afterwards went out for a couple of drinks. A great sendoff.

Craig's art at St. Louis County Library

Craig has several paintings at the library for the month of September. We finally got over there. 
Quite a few paintings, very nice.

Carlyle Lake, Carlyle, IL Corps of Engineer campground, Dam West

We just spent 5 days camping right on the lake with beautiful weather. When you book six months in advance you never know about the weather but this week was great. 

We went with Carol's brother and his wife. 
They had their Airstream. 
We both had nice lakefront sites.

We didn't do much but relax, do a little bike riding and taking it easy.

This side of the lake has nice sunrises but I wasn't awake for most of them.

We even had another A-Frame park across the street from us. Nice people.

We had a very good time. Of course we will be back to this campground. It's one of our favorites and it's close to home.
