Basketball

Last night's basketball game.
I was playing and laughing so hard, my stomach muscles were sore and I was exhausted - but it was a great exhausted.  You just can't beat an all out street game with the 4 grandkids and 2 daughters.  We played to 21 and it ended 19 to 21.  The team I was on lost - after winning the other night.  Tonight will be the final rematch and I am very much looking forward to it.

Today is our last day here which is sad to think about.  I realized when thinking about going home that the quicker I get back to work, the quicker my retirement date will be here.  So - that makes it ok.

Woodland adventure

A fun family excursion in the woods.

Backyard beauty

Visiting our daughter and family in North Carolina.  Impressed with the beautiful trees and bushes in bloom everywhere.  Not so impressed by the humidity and heat, but the company made it perfect.  Both daughters, all 4 grandchildren and our son in law.  Having a fabulous time.

Big day

I gave my retirement notice yesterday!  I couldn't be happier.  I'm very ready.  I gave a 2 month notice and hope those two months go by fast.  I'm sure they will.  Then what do I do with myself?  Can't wait to figure that out.  Lots of art, reading, walking, time with Ted.  Even Ted seems excited about it, despite his comment this morning that he only has 2 more months of freedom.  He keeps saying we're going to have fun...yes, we are!
