Wondering about Grandpa’s retirement

First, remember my blog on Thursday Nov. 4th, Wondering about my Mother, when I talked about some of things my Mother did? Remember the part where I told you about her last hike up the mountain to see the “cat rocks” even though she had a broken foot? Well, I just found an old picture taken way back when. It has my Dad and my Mom and Mom’s sister, who they nicknamed “Pet” in it and they are at the “cat rocks”. This may have been before my parents were married or just after.

OK, now about my Grandpa’s retirement day. It was kind of sad since he loved his job as an engineer. This first picture is of him walking back from the train yard and turn table where they turned the engines around. It is in a small town called Phillipston and the river you see on the right is the Allegheny River.

This next picture is of him standing beside his engine:

This one is my Grandpa coming up the path to his house on his last day:

This next picture is my Grandpa and my Mother on the right (his left) and her sister, Pet, on the other side:

And of course I will leave you with a picture of both my Grandpa and my Grandma:
