A layout of Missy Moo having a tanty in the corner of the bathroom and me making her laugh in the middle of her hissy fit.
My Dad retires this month from the University* having been there 36 years. As he said in his farewell speech, it was difficult to find many people to invite to the dinner who had been there for as long as he had! LOL! There was a nice mix of folks there from all areas of the University.
The dinner was very nice, held at Old Government House which is a lovely old building. Apparently it would cost 6 million to bring up to scratch which is such a shame because it really is a piece of history worth keeping.
My dad. He's my hero.
The dinner attendees (my mum, sister and DH and Dean of the faculty at the front table).
The menu!
* University of Auckland. I know Em, there is another uni in town these days but I still think of my alma mater as The University.
It's a tricky one. Being a graduate from AU I call it THE UNIVERSITY too

Gosh Penny, I just LOVE that layout! And the photos, you absolutely captured the moment!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your Dad. I'm an AU graduate too so also forget there are other Universities in the country ;-)
Love your lo - such great pictures.
ReplyDelete36 years eh - go Dad.
I love your layout, Penny, and DD is so very cute.
ReplyDeleteYour dad looks like a lovely man! 36 years in one job is mindblowing by today's standards huh. When my Dad retired he had worked for the same company for a little over 40 years. Can't imagine doing that myself.
Awesome to see your dad recognised for his hard work and loyalty and it is so neat that they invited the family to share the occasion with him. You don't always see sort of gesture.
Congrats to your dad! What an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThat little ostrich is too cute.
