I’m warm, I’m dry, and right now I am happily retired. What more could one want.
I agree completely. I do love retirement though I miss the teachers I used to work with.
ReplyDeleteA very productive and interesting day. One of the parts of retirement I love the most is the freedom to be spontaneous -- just pick up and go to the store, drop in on the 'kids', or paint -- today I decided to paint the downstairs bathroom and the backsplash behind the stove. Got everything out -- I'll begin tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteAnd Maggie, I love the perspective from that hill.
If that is an accurate description of a routine retirement day, then sign me up!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the good life to me.
ReplyDeletea list poem always works for me. Nicely done. (well, it could be.)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say that I think that is a phenomenal picture.
