:)
Today we (My mom sister and I) went to my dad's "goodbye party" at his work. I met a lot of amazing people there! :) After my dad gave his little "speech" lots of people had questions for him,
If you have not seen the Martian small SPOILER ALERT!, It reminded me of the scene where the director of Nasa talked about Mark's "death" and everyone had questions!!! :) Not saying that everyone having questions was a bad thing! anyone who was there DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A COMMENT! Anyway, after that we talked and talked and talked, (we talked for a very long time).
The people at my dad's work had catered a lovely breakfast. Here is a picture of the decorations by the breakfast buffet!
They also had a wonderful cake, that even had a picture of our boat (Cool Runnings) on it! And the best part was, that picture was EDIBLE!! :)
Then the lady from the Cookie Company also came and dropped off a cake, that she had made for my dad....I am so happy that she made that cake, because it was my favorite type of cake in the whole world...COOKIE CAKE!!!!
Lastly, we took pictures of us in height order for a "before and after" picture. I bet I'll be taller than my mom when we get back! ;) Gaby and I are wearing our new Cool Runnings T-Shirts!!
A big thank you to everyone who helped put the party together and also thank you to everyone who came! We all appreciated it very much!
Sincerely,
The Cool Runnings Crew!

DeleteWas really great to see the entire crew today! We are really going to miss "The Captain" but are very happy for you guys as you start on your new journey. I was especially glad to see Ben and Gabby.....WOW how you both have grown!! I told Mrs. Boitnott ("Mom") that I saw you guys and she was very excited. I've shared your blog address with her as well so she can follow your adventures! Good luck on final preparations!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for telling Mrs. Boitnott, and for leaving a comment we are glad that you enjoyed the brunch!!! :)
DeleteSounds like a great send off. Thanks for the update Ben. I'm pretty certain the height order will be quite different when you get back.
ReplyDeleteYes, Yes it will. :) Ben
DeleteWhile we will miss "The Captain" and crew - we know this experience will be a lifetime of memories which most of us only dream we could do. My wishes for the Cool Runnings Crew - a joyful, safe and entertaining adventure. So nice to see your dream come true! Can not wait to follow your trip and see your book on the best seller list ~ Vicki
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki thank you for following my instructions and leaving a comment and your name! I once got a fortune cookie that said one day I would write a book, i think this might be the time! Ben :)
DeleteLook forward to reading and having my copy autographed :-)
DeleteI am so glad I finally met "the crew," the family that David has spoken of so often and with such pride! Good luck on your adventure! David, I will surely miss you and the office won't ever be the same without you, but I guess that means we are embarking on our own adventure, not knowing the adventures the future holds for us! Take care & God bless. I'll be watching your voyage with great anticipation of good things for you. ~ Cindy
