I am an early retiree, 50 years old, now work on our family farm and watch two of my grandchildren during the day. I retired as a community educator where I worked with low income families teaching, nutrition, parenting and financial management. I to loved my job, however I do not miss the funding issues associated with state budgets! My hobbies include, sewing, reading and raising French Lops (this was a hobby my son and I shared). His favorite were the chin colored rabbits, hence my screen name Tulip. That was his favorite doe, she's an old girl now, but gets the job done on the show tables. lol
