What does "Retirement" Mean?


It has been almost two years since my husband retired from AT&T. What has that meant to me? Well, LOTS more time together. I have enjoyed having him home with me and as the newest "employee" of Noticeably Nancy. The first day that my daughter-in-law came over to sew after he retired, he came down about 12:00 to find out what I was preparing for lunch. I had to quickly explain that since he was now retired, and I was the one still working, HE could fix lunch for us! Fortunately, he agreed. He is a good sport about my chaining myself to the sewing machine, but he is happiest when I unlock myself from the machine and head out on a little trip to the lake or to the mountains with him. I enjoy that as well. Then it is back to the "workroom" where I sew, he turns things inside out for me, trims threads for me, keeps the books for me, while we chat. Retirement isn't so bad after all. Now I wonder what he is preparing for lunch?!

BUT let the record show that I do most breakfasts and dinners! It is nice to share doing the dishes though.
