My husband retired about 11 years ago then worked at different part-time jobs for about five years. I was working part time myself but when I retired so did he full time. It is a little hard to have him around all of the time but most of the time it is great. Having the computer especially in the winter is a big help. He has a classic car he messes with and a motorcycle he can ride in the summer. These keep him busy when he's not doing yard work. The worst part is he won't clean up after himself when he fixes himself something to eat but that's minor.
