I'm still among the working so retirement is something I dream of. My thrifting buddy, Ann, is retiring at the end of the month. Yesterday was her retirement party. It was great to see the current retirees there to send her off and welcome her to their ranks. Isn't it amazing how they all seem to look younger and healthier once they retire? :-)
One of her former bosses gave a little speech and said it well when she said she would like to welcome Ann to retirement - it's wonderful! And the rest of us could aspire to it. So so true!
It was a very nice party - lots of current and former coworkers and bosses. There were quite a few stories told with much laughter. Ann wanted only one thing for retirement - her chair. Not a Purdue rocking chair but the office chair she has sat in for much of her 40 years at Purdue. It's molded to her shape now and comfortable! Her managers did the paperwork and got it for her. A very fitting tribute to her hard work. Go Ann!
I read yesterday that many of the Krogers offer senior discount days. I want to say it is Tuesday but will have to check. It did say that it is up to the individual store so do check your local ones. 5% off on groceries sure can help!
It's quite chilly here which I don't like. When the sun is shining, it makes it all better. Take care!
