My parents retired yesterday

Well, Dad already had a couple of months ago, and Mom did yesterday.

They're off to the east coast today, and soon they'll be headed west to Yellowstone.

Here they are with their Rockwood Signature Ultra Lite 8315BSS. I believe that's a 1500 for a TV.

Gratz to them!

Can't think of a better way to spend some quality time together after retirement.

On my 25th birthday my dad congratulated me for only having another 40 years to go before retiring.

I made it 41 years then retired 3 years ago.....AND LOVING IT.

Congrats to them!! Hubby is retiring in May of this year, but we have 2 kids still at home (11 and 14) so we won't be able to afford to travel much. I'm sure they will love this new chapter in their lives!

The day will come.

We have three in elementary school, but try to spend as much time as we can enjoying our free time. By comparison, won't retirement be boring?

Ok, just kidding... it will be awesome. But the kids gotta grow first, I suppose.

Congrats to them and wish them a long, safe, and healthy retirement. I'd join them this weekend if those Lottery People would just pick the right numbers
