Mr. Fix-it meeting his first grandchild in the spring of 2007 in Evansville Indiana.
My husband Roger, aka Mr. Fix-it, is the most family oriented, wonderful, responsible man I know. He is my heart. He has recently retired from the United States Army after more than twenty years of stellar military service including several deployments and many long work days supporting our country's defense.  |

But no matter what the future holds for Mr. Fix-it and I in this new phase of our lives we will face it together and learn and adapt to new challenges and opportunities....in the garden....

Congratulations to Roger for making it to retirement! I know you both have made many sacrifices with your active duty time. I respect people such as y’all for being brave enough to sign the dotted line. People like me could never do such a thing. Many many thanks to you both for keeping us safe at night during your time served. Now you can stay out of harms way (hopefully) and be together more then ever before! This will surely be an adjustment for you both. One Chapter of your life closed and a new chapter Open. You two are my hero’s!
ReplyDeleteOkay Roger, I expect to see some results on one of those cars the next time I get up there. hee hee...
What a wonderful tribute to your husband, Tina! I extend my sincere thank-you's to the both of you for all the sacrifices you have made for our country and wish both of you good luck in this new venture.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I watched "The Pillars of the Earth", too, on Netflix and loved it!
How exciting for the two of you, this new chapter of your life will hopefully be rewarding and very happy. :)
ReplyDeleteAll will be well, because it's not what you do but who you are that makes life what it is. And, who you are is what makes all those great experiences and memories! You both made the army great and still contributing.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are really awesome!!! The second one from one of Harpswell's many town landings is a great shot and even shows the house we lived in when you were a teen.
ReplyDeleteA big congrats to Roger on his new job!
Congratulations and welcome to "retired" life. Please tell your husband "Thank you for your service!". As a retired military wife myself, I know the sacrifices you have made also. I hope you enjoy many happy post-military years together~:o)
