How sad yet sweet.  I, too am curious.  Will you change your blog name?

Will you be changing your name here at Blogit to Retired_Rector or something?

And now it is off to the pleasantries of a well earned retirement! I know it has to be sad in a way but the time ahead is going to be wonderful, too! sam

Happy retirement to you and may this bittersweet moment be always in your memories as the beginning of the best part of your life

It must be sad for your parishioners to say good bye to you. We bloggers on the other hand can rejoice because we still will have the pleasure of your company. Enjoy the birthday party.

I can suggest a new blogger name for you. We have to keep the 'rocking' in....so how about ROCKINGEX-RECTOR?

I’m guessing you’ll still be able to marry people if asked – even in your retirement but a wedding was certainly a lovely way to wind things up as you head into tomorrow for the farewell service.   I hope it’s a day filled with love and gratitude, Rocking.  A few tears, I suspect.
