1. FIRST WEEK of retirement!! Now, I've been busy all week, but the difference is that I'm slowly realizing that my time is no longer limited. It's not "I've got to get all this done on Saturday," or even "I've got to get all this done during my 10 weeks off this summer." Which is the way it's been for the past 42 years!! I may write an entire blog post at some point about what that feels like. It is liberating.
3. I am slowly getting 42 years of education accumulation cleaned out of our dining room/"big room." It will take awhile, but I'm getting it done slowly.
5. My dad is better. He was pretty sick last weekend with 101+ fever for several days, but a trip to the urgent care, with a doctor we know and appreciate, and a good antibiotic prescription have gotten him fixed up again.
And now I can take a nap. Because I am retired. :-)

Retirement sounds great! How sweet of the school to give you 31 roses and a plaque. I love the flowers your daughter gave you. I'm glad your dad is doing better. Have fun picking blueberries! Glad you have more this year.
Glad to hear your Dad is ok. Congratulations on your retirement. The roses are lovely.
I just want to say that I am having the same issues with commenting and google. I would have emailed you but didn't know if an anonymous comment would go to email? I finally had to set up 3 separate google accounts. Some things work on one, other things on another and a couple of things only work on a third account. If I forget when I'm commenting and use the one account it puts me up as anonymous. I have to make sure I'm using the specific account. It's a headache. But no tech seems to know what to do about it. It all messed up when my email server sold out to gmail and they migrated my email account last year. Totally messed up my google account.
Beautiful flowers and super congrats on your retirement from teaching. I'm also a teacher (special ed PreK so i do teach summer school which can be difficult at times!) but i'm only 62 so not really in a hurry to retire. Well. some days I am!!
sounds like a week full of special blessings. Enjoy the weekend and that nap!
Congratulations on retirement! Thirty-one years at the same school is quite an accomplishment. The roses are a visual testament to how the school valued you and your contribution to so many students.
How well I remember those days of knowing I had just a few weeks of 'holiday' before school started back up again (you can't fool me--September is really the beginning of the "new year" not January)
Yes, it is wonderful to begin a new schedule doing everything when you feel like it and taking breaks.
Your farm is so so inviting! Our little backyard garden is producing veggies, but we don't have trees and pastures. I know you thoroughly enjoy your little farm.
