It is sounding very OFFICIAL...

John says June 2011 will be his last month to work. He says this is it for sure!! I am sure we will adjust to that just fine. However, it is going to take some getting used to. Jenny will be working on her Master's and Jeff working on his Phd and me and John just vegging out here at home.

John did say he would do some traveling with me. He will visit the kids with me when I go and I might be able to talk him into some other trip if I had anywhere to go. I really don't care to travel and "see the world". If I have a trip planned, I want it to be to see my kids.

By this summer we will know where the kids will be for the next few years and I guess my traveling will be looking for a new place out west for us to live. Someplace easier to visit the kids. Moving is sort of a pain in the butt though. But I think I'd enjoy looking for another house.

We will see what the future holds.

IT HAPPENED....John's last day of work was May 31, 2011.  He is home all day long every day. I actually like it. By the time all the retirement checks started rolling in and I realized that our retirement is just over $150,000 a year....I have decided that it's good.  John is happy and he is not stressed....I want to find some business to keep me busy.  I volunteer at the 'white house in the office of presidential correspondendence.  It is interesting but driving in a bitch and finding a parking place is another bitch. I am losing the flavor!!''
