A Big Surprise!

This morning, after chores, on the deck:


Checking in at the guard gate, friend Kou with a good morning


Betsy and Vickie came to see me (amongst many others!)


12:15 PM:


Walls bare, computer off... personal pictures gone....

THAT'S IT FOLKS...

I started working when I was 15... and I turn 62 on the 25th.  I accelerated the retirement by 3 weeks... and today was it! 

I can't wait to start the rest of my life!
