Still Sort of Stunned....
 
I retired Friday (10/30) and I am still in a state of shock, having a hard time believing it.
We'll be headed down to TV for a month or so later this week, then back north for Christmas, than back to TV for the really cold months.
No more weeks or weekends in paradise, but now enough time to really enjoy.
Someone please pinch me in case I'm dreaming.

Congrats, Steve. It will take you about a month and then you'll realize, Monday's aren't so bad after all. Everyday is a WEEKEND!!! YEAH!!

Thanks Kathie - will do! See you soon!

Welcome, Steve --

Don't worry that retirement will mean time on your hands. Once you become involved in the many activities in The Villages, you will wonder how you ever found time to work.

Cheers,

KathieI 11-01-2009 01:24 PM
Ed, your right. I need a vacation from retirement!! I'm exhausted!!

Congratulations on your retirement. I just retired myself this past Wednesday 10/28. My actual retirement date is in the middle of November but Wednesday was my last day in the office.

I think it will take a couple of weeks to really sink in. Right now it seems like I'm on vacation.

Steve, Enjoy. I retired as of 10/31 from the post office. I am sure we both will find a lot to do in villages.

Congratulations Steve. You'll be amazed how busy one becomes once they retire. Just ain't enough hours in the day to get all you want accomplished.

I imagine it does take a while to sink in, that is for sure. Congrats and enjoy your new found freedom!!

Steve, I think the first thing you should do when you arrive in TV is buy a Hawaiian shirt, and maybe a panama hat and have KathieI take a picture so you can update your avatar.

Steve. So glad for you. We will be here until just before Thanksgiving and then return first of January for the season. We G's would love to meet you two.

EdVinMass, you read my mind. His avatar looks like he belongs in Montana. I promise to take a new picture for him at the first TOTV lunch as a man of leisure!!
