Mostly other blogger friends, like you, who I've met along the way. Enjoy retirement! I cannot tell you how wonderful it's been for my mom who retired and then moved up here last year. She sees Gage 5 times a week. They are like 2 peas in a pod.

Like you I've thought of giving it up but I can't. I know I would miss it.<br /><br />I think you'll love retirement. You've got lots to keep you occupied and let's face it - at some point in our lives it's nice to sit back and just relax and enjoy.<br /><br />I just downloaded The Life We Bury from the library in audio. It does sound good. I wish I had more than one set of ears! lol.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-37636097725685686882015-06-23T11:43:22.468-04:002015-06-23T11:43:22.468-04:00Congratulations on the blog anniversary but especi...Congratulations on the blog anniversary but especially on the retirement!
