Happy Dancing!

Congratulations, Louise! I hope you enjoy your retirement at least as much as I do mine. :D

I'm sure counting on it Sandy! Friday afternoon can't come too soon.

You know Louise, the best thing I found about retirement. I wake very early and make some coffee, put my robe and slippers on then go sit on my screened back porch to watch the world wake up.

When's the last time you watched a sunrise.

Great news! Maybe we can get together again!!

I'm hoping so, KJ. I told DH I was going to take a couple of weeks to just decompress and try to get my shoulders to untighten! Then I might start acting like a civil human being again. Oh, I've got so much to do. I haven't done a thing with the fabric or little flower kits I bought on our last outing! And I haven't been to Kalona in so long, I don't know if I can find my way there again! You may have to drive!

Sit back a little and take time for you. Its so easy when you first retire to get 'sucked' into commitments and end up over-whelmed. There seems so much time and new commitments seem small in comparison but they can easily take over your life and become just as time-consuming as a full time job and the fun side gets lost.

who is retiring from two committees in the next couple of months and who never wants to see another poster! ("You've got a computer so you'll be able to do the posters"). - I have multiple copies of four different ones to do today, plus the distribution.

Oh, Louise, I'm so jealous! I can't wait to retire--hopefully the end of next year!! Enjoy your retirement!

Woo-hoo indeed! What wonderful news, Louise! I'm happy dancing with you. :-)

I reminded my mother of that tonight! I told her I was going to take a couple of weeks to decompress, and then I'd start thinking in terms of what kinds of volunteer work I want to do. I was just kind of warning her that she shouldn't "encourage" me too much at first!

I love hearing that! My aunt said something to me tonight about "when you get bored." I can't imagine that happening! But then she's 77 and still working a full-time job - I don't think she'll ever retire.

I have to admit it was a little sooner for me than I had planned or even hoped, but sometimes things come together when you least expect it. I'll help you count the days if you'd like!

Thanks, Louise. LOL

No problem!! I have new wheels....will travel. However, after being up at Pine Needles this week, it's hard to believe there is anything in Kalona that beats it!
