What Are We Doing
1) The thing I enjoy most about retirement is...
Having free time to do what I want. (It doesn't always work out.) - Bill Byrd |
Not having to get up at oh dark thirty. Thomas Marvin Smith |
I am still working (55 years now)
Don't know how retirement would ever suit me.
Retired from Honeywell (actually thrown out) with 43 years and was going for the 50 year grandfather clock. Luckily for me there was a real retirement program which I am receiving and expect to until I pass.
Working for the Honeywell distributor now so I did not have to do anything new. Pam and I will be celebrating 55 years at French Lick on this coming Valentines Day. She is retired from a private nursery school and was the lead teacher for the younger group. She looked forward to being retired and now that she is not able to work misses it and her friends at work.
Hope this finds you well and well retired! - Larry Mills |
