RETIREMENT PARTY FOR CAROL ESKOLA MON., NOV. 7, 2011

Carol and one of her presents! Had a fun time, ate, sang, (also sang an 8 verse song about Carol and her retirement, tune of "my Bonny lies over the ocean", concocted by Ellen.
Also ladies were given an "old lady" test, to see if they remembered stuff like blackjack gum, rollerskate keys, glass milk bottles, candy cigarettes, etc. Most of us did remember them, but Carla B. is only 40, so had only 7 yes, while the rest of us had about 25....shows how really old some of us are.
A great evening, and Carol enjoyed the party with so many friends!





notice the ballons on the tree...inside was a retirement wish from all of us...so she had to pop and read them! Great fun!
