I agree 100% Mary....there are so many things one can
do to keep busy. I sooooooooo look forward to my
retirement!! And I'll be able to do that at 62. Those
many years with my x will now be repaid.... :0
Enjoy every second that you have, Mary, and I wish
and pray you have years and years yet to do exactly
as you please!
