Congratulations to both of you! I agree with Kathie as far as it is likely to take about a month to really believe you are retired (at least that's the way it worked for my husband).

Good luck, and I'll meet up with both of you when we are all down in TV at the same time.

My mom retired a few years ago and even though she's in the middle of Nowhere Indiana, she can't believe how busy she's been.

Congrats Steve. I'm jealous!!!

Let's meet up when I come down next year.

Oddly, that picture was taken in TV at the playground in LSL. I'll update it with something else!

Thanks for all the kind wishes everyone!

I'm so jealous! I still have years to go. I'm going to go out and buy a lottery ticket. Congratulations!

Pinched Again
 
Hi StevefromNY,

I'm so happy for you! We just bought a home at TV. We can only do the long weekends for another two years 'til hubby retires. We so look forward to being in your shoes. Wish you all the best!

Steve from NY,
Congrats to you.
I have until July of 2011 before I do the big exit.
Part time in the villages until then.

Enjoy each day.

CONGRATULATIONS Steve! Have a happy and healthy retirement.

faithfulfrank 11-01-2009 09:14 PM

Congrats Steve!
I have 610 days.......a widget on the laptop keeps track.
Until then, we only get to be here 2 months a year. We are here now, in fact, until the weekend prior to Thanksgiving.
We love it down here......it is always hard to go back to NY.

Frank

Good luck Steve! I have 2 months to go before retiring and moving to Bonita. We can't wait.
