I remember past New Year’s with children-vaguely. Usually, we were recovering from the sleepless nights wrapping gifts before and on Christmas Eve. Friends dropping by between Christmas and New Years kept us from catching up.
The thought of staying up and facing the early morning when DJ and Tiffany would get up usually saw us sleeping through as you did.
Retirement, I am looking forward to it but with just a bit of trepidation. I began working when I was 16, 54 years ago. 51 since I signed with the Navy and never without a 40 hour or more work weeks. Now, to fill the hours. I am sure Lori will think of something. 🙂

Our guests left around 10. We tucked the girls into bed, and we were all asleep around 10:30. That’s what happens when your kids are little.

Congratulations on retirement! Of course you’ll keep busy. You’ve been waiting for some extra hours to write for a long time.
