BOUDREAUX, LOUIS

Flower Mound. TX

Most of my time is still spent getting my daughter Lindsey ready for her journey after high school. Two more years to go!!  My oldest, Nicolas will enter his second year at Iowa State in mechanical engineering. I did get to see him set a school record in the triple jump his senior year at Flower Mound HS of 44'8". When we dropped him off at Birch Hall for freshman week I heard the Beatles playing just a few doors down. Thirty nine years earlier in Beck Hall my freshman at Central Wash. I heard the Beatles playing just a few doors down.

 

The big question is now that when I decide to pull the plug on this working stuff - where do I want to settle in. The summers here in Texas are just brutally "HOT", but not a lot of snow to shovel. I could be a "snowbird" and travel from TX & WA for the seasons. I know that some of you already have made that choice. I would like to have those retirement $$$ go a long way. I know that I will have a lot more time for fishing. In Parts Operations/Distribution there is no such thing as an eight hour day; it's until the job is complete. Eight hours is for your vacation time sheet that goes to payroll.

I still manage to run 2-3 miles a day. Why? Because I still can. I have to keep an eye out for that "Texas Sidewalk Monster" he's tripped me twice the past three years. Minor bruises, but the recovery time is a lot longer now. The concrete is a lot harder the more years you pile on.  This is my stress relief.

Looking forward to seeing all that show up to the functions. Over the years "WE" have all changed. It’s hard to believe that forty years have come and gone and that we have spent more time away from each other than we did in our school years.
