Friday, 30 November
This is what was on my blog when I took a peek at it this morning. Yes; the day has arrived! By 3:00p today, I will be officially retired ... or, since I am below the official retirement age, I will at least be out of the workforce.
Mui's official last day with DHS is not until the end of December, but he turned in his badge and keys yesterday and is on what is called terminal leave ... they could have a better description of his status, but what matters is that he's out of the daily work routine and doesn't have to go back into the office to complete the formalities. That's a good thing since we will be flying the coop and heading south on Tuesday, 4 December.
Tonight we will have the first of the many sleeps of our fulltiming gypsy lifestyle in our rolling condo.
Just wanted to wish you a good last day of work - for you and Mui............HAPPY RETIREMENT.
ReplyDeleteDo keep in touch!! Happy trails!
welcome to the world where those of us out of the work force fully enjoy life...
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS to you both. Enjoy your new journey. You two will have a wonderful time. I look forward to your gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I know you will enjoy your new life!
ReplyDeleteHappy retirement to you both!!! Enjoy your new 'gypsy' lifestyle!
ReplyDeleteHoo RAY! You made it to the promised land!! And believe me it's just like heaven. You are going to love love love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my blog. Wanted to let you know that few if any state parks have full hook ups. At least in the states I've been to. They do have water and electric and dump station. That's true at Hunting Island and you will have no trouble as far as I can see dropping in on December 4. Plenty of sites. Just wish we were still going to be here. We have to leave on Tuesday the 4th by noon. SHOOT!!
We're off to Gamble Rogers in Florida on the Atlantic Coast south of St. Augustine for two weeks. Any chance you might be coming that way?
I guess we're spoiled by BRRP ... but that's a reguional park and that might be the difference. Not a problem anyway ... we can make do without a sewer hookup for at least a week -- longer if we're careful and use park facilities. Too bad about missing each other this time; but I'm sure someday our paths will cross.
DeleteHayırlı olsun yeni hayat !!!
ReplyDeleteWOOT!
ReplyDeleteWe made it ;)
Getting Beauregard all cleaned up for his next trip to Big Bend NP in January.
Since I haven't even managed to finish blog posts from our April trip... and now we have three weeks of coastal birding pix...
I am in absolute AWE of people who can find time to blog. You guys rock. I'll never be able to keep up since it appears I have LESS time rather than more. Le Sigh.
HAPPY, HAPPY Retirement Day !!!
So excited for you. Happy Retirement Day! Tomorrow the alarm clock gets thrown out I'm sure. I'm sure we'll meet somewhere along the way. Safe journey to you...

ReplyDeleteHave been tracking your countdown - OMG one more day. CONGRATULATIONS to you both. Andy and I look forward to virtual tagging along on your adventures. Give us a holler if you wind up in our area. Good birding in the spring in these parts :)
Terminal leave?!? That sounds terrible! You're right - they need to rename that. Anyway congrats to you both.
