    Happy anniversary! We’re a few years behind you but going strong. Today I turn….gulp…..70! Up in Columbus with Janet, my brother and his wife having fun. Daughter has been in Las Vegas for two years now. I’m still consulting part time and loving it.

      Happy birthday, Mik!!! That's definitely a milestone, too.

      I am hoping to retire in a year. I can't say much about my work, because it would be too identifying. I have enjoyed it immensely for over 20 years, with it overlapping my time teaching. It's time though. I'm ready.

      Hubby was shocked when I told him I want to retire next year. He wanted me to wait until he would also hit the right age to retire. I reminded him that I am older than he is. That was a strange and funny moment. I expect he will want to retire shortly after I do. I can see his mind working it out how to time it.

                @89th It's a favorite shirt for him. I wondered if he would even wear it, but gave it to him anyway just for the fun of it. To my surprise, he loves to wear it.

                Even after 40 years, he can still surprise me. That's pretty great unto itself!

                    Wow 40 years!

                    You guys might just make it after all.

                    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                        You bet! Having his and hers sheds is the key. I think we might make it to 60 years with the separate sheds.

                          Congratulations to both of you, and happy birthday to Mik!

                          I like the sheds idea. Do you have a lock for his?

                          I was only joking

                            No, we don't lock it. I know his will need refresh, and I will move my things to the new one. He will appreciate having the additional space, and he needs it. It's amazing how much equipment gets acquired over the decades.
