Retirement Was A Wonderful Choice!

The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off. ~Abe Lemons

Sue And Paul Retired In March 2007

I don't look like I use to!
It's more like this than one might think! I thought I would get more handsome
but alas, time is taking its toll!

We just retired in March of 2007 after 75 years with the Boeing Company.

While most people worry about "adjusting to retired life" we fell into it immediately.  The next day would be a proper time!

We are so busy these days that I am often tickled by the thought of going back to work to rest (not!).

This little site is a collection of humor and observations about retirement (aka being old).  Please enjoy!

You are certainly welcome to visit "On The Go" which shows some of our short visits to places around town!

It's Been A Year Already!!

And we have not looked back!  We are s buy these days between museum's, golf, dancing, movies, gardening, friends and family that time passes 90 miles an hour!

A Little Story

Happy Retirement
Happy Birthday

After a Christmas break, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holidays. One small boy wrote the following:

We always used to spend Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live here in a big brick home, but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a place with a lot of other retarded people. They all live in little tin boxes.

They ride on big three-wheeled tricycles and they all wear name tags because they don't know who they are. They go to a big building called a wrecking hall; but if it was wrecked, they got it fixed because it's all right now. They play games and do exercises there, but they don't do them very good.

There is a swimming pool there. They go into it and just stand there with their hats on. I guess they don't know how to swim. As you go into their park, there is a dollhouse with a little man sitting in it. He watches all day so they can't get out without him seeing them. When they can sneak out, they go to the beach and pick up shells that they think are dollars.

My grandma used to bake cookies and stuff, but I guess she forgot how. Nobody cooks, they just eat out. They eat the same thing every night, "early birds."

Some of the people are so retarded that they don't know how to cook at all, so my Grandma and Grandpa bring food into the wrecked hall and they call it "pot luck." My grandma says grandpa worked hard all his life and earned his retardment.

I wish they would move back up here, but I guess the little man in the dollhouse won't let them out.
