Congratulations! I hope you're very, very happy and busy! And I hope
the
adjustment goes well. Well-meaning retired husbands can drive you nuts
at first, I hear.

Already told him he can have full rein on all the household things including
cooking. Gives me more time for quilting, crocheting, knitting, etc, etc,
etc.

Thank you for all the Well Wishes!
He had a very nice relaxed day.
Didn't find the razor blades but heard of a specialty store at a 'new-to-us'
mall here in Phoenix that might carry them. He appreciated the flag.
The Grocery Store bought cake was very good. Surprisingly so! Had fluffy
frosting that wasn't very sweet. I made him his fav dinner: roast, winter
squash, potatoes, corn (cut from the cob), salad, Cake and Ice Cream.
Butterfly (resting today)

CONGRATULATIONS! I was able to take "early retirement" in 2002, and
have not regretted it for a single minute! (The Governor, George
Ryan, may now be in federal prison, but he did two very good things
while still in office. One was to decide not to run for a second
term, but the one close to my heart is his signing an early retirement
bill for State employees!) It was a serious financial cut, but the
house and car are paid for and in very good shape, and I manage by
just being careful. I have never understood people who suffer after
retirement, claiming there is nothing to do, and want to give them a
good shake and say GET A LIFE! I stay home to entertain the cat and
the dog, knit, crochet, tat, and quilt, take care of the yard, bake
bread and cook for the freezer, read, go out with friends, and travel
a bit. Wonderful!
