It's been a long haul

What you ask? My road to retirement. This coming Wednesday will be my last day at the office. I am SOOOOO excited! I have worked for the Federal Government for 32 years and have now become eligible to retire. I have only one workday left. With Monday being the New Years holiday and Tuesday being the National Day of Mourning for President Ford, I just have Wednesday to go.

I have so many projects dancing in my head. There will be household cleanup and organization (I'm talking MAJOR); some house remodeling; yard and garden cleanup; a spring vegetable garden; and lots of sewing. I'll probably have to live to be 104 to get my "to do list" done.

My ASG friends and I are looking forward to spending more "quality" time together, attending sewing workshops, etc.

I leave behind at the office some dear friends, but I plan to keep in touch with with those closest ones. I also plan to renew some older friendships that have languished due to "life getting in the way." I already have some out-of-town day trips planned.

I'm not sure if I will be doing any "football" sewing today, or will just be watching football. Lots of good games this afternoon.
