I’ve been really reluctant to say “the last this…the last that….the last time…,” etc. in regards to my retirement. It’s like saying my four month European trip for sabbatical was a “trip of a lifetime.” The trip was certainly amazing, and some parts, okay maybe, many parts, cannot be repeated – but I never planned […]

Not to mention the part of life that involves laundry, the first lawn mow of the spring, a delightful Mother’s Day spent with daughter and granddaughter and paying the bills!

I truly have been thinking about this blog, and not short of material. But the last few days have had more bitter than sweet and I simply got hung up on that. I don’t want to write about those moments or focus on them anymore. Those are the things that created the stress in this […]

Just as I try not to say, “the trip of a lifetime,” because there’s always another opportunity to go on another trip and experience new things, I’ve been hesitant to say “the last time,” when it comes to my retirement. Today marked the last time – at least the “official” last time that a group […]
