It’s tomorrow. Commencement, and the date when I am officially retired! Funny thing is that I still have tasks to accomplish. Please don’t ask about the paperwork that I think is completed — thank you especially to the hubby who got me through most of it. I have an Incomplete grade which means there’s a […]

I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned all the planning that goes into retirement while I’ve been counting down on this blog.
