Title: Retired
Post by: mickey357 on January 15, 2014, 08:27:34 am

 Well , my wife and I finally retired. :) :) We have over 50 years service with the State of Texas, I have 30 + and my wife has 20 + years. Now it's time to spend more time in the shop. Start catching those catfish, spend time with the granddaughter, do a little travel here in the USA. Now the 2nd half of our life starts.

I retired in 2010.  Now I am waiting for the spouse to retire this year.  Then we will start having fun traveling and working in the work shop.

Don said it truly..."Have Fun!"

And I agree that it a good thing to be retired because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to fit a job in my life now!

Let me echo what GB said, but you WILL find out you run out of time when you are reitred - I am more busy now than when I was working.  But enjoying it a heckuva lot more as well.


Congratulations!!!!

Congrats to you both! I found this quote awhile ago and I liked it so much it's stuck in my mind now and I'd like to share it with you.
