Retirement is a "Real Blast"

I've been stripping the bathroom walls;

Terri arranged for the Goodyear blimp to fly directly over our house in honor of my first retirement day.

Terri also arranged a day off for herself too. Our dear friend "Ike" decided to help bring in my retirement.
Our power was out for about 11 hours and our phone for about 22hours. All the local schools were closed (but not Marion's :))
But overall, retirement is great!!!

Retired at last!

As Terri said, "Here's why we won't be moving for awhile."

This one was from my way to work at sunrise on a road close to us.
It looked as if the tassles were on fire.
It was just beautiful.

This is one of the numerous glorious sunsets we see from
our deck in the back.
