New Life Style Continued!

Oops! I hit the wrong key and published that last blog before I was finished or had even proofed it....sorry about that.
So, what has happened since that eventful retirement day? My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, and it certainly doesn't feel that long. Our children all came home, travelling from Arlington, VA, New Jersery, and Montana just to surprise us w/ a wonderful party. They certainly fooled us...we were so shocked! I will try to learn to post some pics. My dear friend Heather came by to see me when she was in town visiting friends...It was wonderful to see her. I had so much fun with my 2 grandchildren when they were here...I can't wait to see them again, Sept.13th I must admit I didn't miss the first day of school, I was sort of surprised as to how good it felt! I haven't given up teaching altogether, I am teaching 3 public speaking classes at the local community college. This I consider a hobby. I have cleaned closets, organized areas in the house that were long over-due for the task and I am still having fun doing it. I am actually enjoying cooking now! My husband, Fred, is thrilled with this. Well, I could go on with much more news, but this should bring you up to date with my life as a retired lady. Fred retires Oct. 1 and then we both will have lots of fun and free time. I can't wait. Life is full of adventures, no matter how old you are or how young you feel! Take time to experience each adventure to its fullest!!

Carol! So good to hear from you!! I have been thinking about you and wondering how the first day of classes felt to you now that you can enjoy them pool-side. :)

I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying this new place in life. I'm excited to hear that Fred will be retiring next month - it's so great you can enjoy this together.

Keep me updated!!

Hey Carol! Glad to see your new post(s) and hear what's been going on with you this summer. The plaque is such a touching idea and a real tribute to the MANY lives the three of you have touched during your years of service to HHS. How exciting that Fred will be joining you in retirement and the two of you will be gallivanting around the country visiting your family...Ontario is beautiful in the Fall if the mood should strike you :)

I think it's great you're both going to be enjoying retirement within days. I hope you love every minute of it!
