Congratulations Judy on your retirement. It sounds wonderful not to be tied to a schedule. You can come and go as you and your side kick please
I am not far behind you. March 07 I am hopefully planning. That is also why I got Buddy late in life, so to speak, for a campanion. I also lost my husband 19yrs ago when I was 45 years old. Can't wait to stay home especially in the winter. I won't have to shovel my car out!

I can sit and count the snow flakes instead

Good luck to you. I bet in no time you will wonder where you found time to work. Carol
