The day is finally within sight! Friday, April 27th is my last day, I am retiring after 40 plus years of working! Jeez, just the thought of working those 40 years makes me tired! Now I will be able to share more time my Cutie friends and family and sew, sew, sew!

Hugs

This takes me back to when I retired - nearly 8 years ago. I was so looking forward to it but also dreading it. I had been with my company for over 30 years and everybody there were like family. I was given a wonderful farewell party and given some amazing presents. I still miss the buzz of working but love my retirement. ENJOY. Hugs Sarah.
