Spectacular Retirement celebration at the Harvest Restaurant in Cambridge! After so many ‘lasts’ at work this past year, it was wonderful to start my “firsts” in retirement with family and friends!
This was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten! Good people, creative dishes, low key surroundings… ah.
