ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...whatever will you do with all your spare time??!! *snort*
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Of course, my mom retired at sixty-five and began working at her local library as a volunteer. 8 years later, they hired her and she's been with them four days a week ever since! At 81, she may be the oldest person working for the City of San Diego but she is doing something she loves! I get a glimpse of retirement every Fall when the kids go back to school...can't wait for the real thing someday! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Retirement! It's AWESOME! Remember, Quilt first and then if there is time (HA HA), you can do other things!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Carol !!! Your going to love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI think it's the end of your Thursday. I want to be one of the first to congratulate you when you arrive home for your first evening of retirement!!! I hope you will do something especially fun!!
ReplyDeleteYea!!!! you are joining us retirees. It is so good. You will love it. Congratulations. All that time you thought you were going to have, not!!! It is so nice though, to be able to do things at your own pace, and when you want to. Enjoy!!! I think you will have a blast!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful!! I love being retired and find that I'm as busy as ever. Looks like you'll have a leg-up on MS with all your 'retired time'!! lol (Note the pun 'leg-up' since you used a dog as a mascot!)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS! I hope this first day of retirement treats you well.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Carol!!! Retirement is sEw exciting....I've been retired since moving to the US in 2002...and I'm now busier then I was when I worked full time....but back then I wasn't quilting. I started quilting just before we moved to Tennessee. Wishing you a long and happy retirement...you are going to love it!! hugs Pauline
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the retirement, Carol! You will be purely amazed how busy your schedule will be especially if you sew and now have time for quilt groups, quilt classes etc etc. You may have even more items for the blog hops than you do now!! I have been retired for 16 yrs now and I am so rarely bored or without something to keep me busy.
ReplyDeleteI've missed a few posts as I have been nose to the grindstone to get my items done for HO HO HO--in the homestretch on binding!
Congratulations! on your retirement. Have great time doing some fun stuff.
