The roman bench seat was purchased from a local market and is all concrete - very heavy.

My retirement

I have decided to retire and have formally notified my employer.

My last working day is July 9 and I turn 63 in November.

I have been planning for this over the last couple of years and found out a lot about how things work and what I had to do to plan for retirement ad safeguard my savings - so I don't end up in a soup line. I will post under the Diary catagory my adventures...

My corner at work.

My older kid has turned 27

We went to Paesano Restaurant in Knox Ozone and it was very enjoyable. I had the fish & chips with salad - very nice.
