Congrats to you..... I know you will love your new life.... getting to sleep in late if you want and time to quilt when you want to quilt. I've been retired for 10 years now and I'm still having a good time. It sure beats having to get up at the crack of dawn and drag out to work. I really loved my job but it was a job!!
During the summer months, I live in the UP of MI as well. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy your leisure. .... and get all those quilts done that have been in your dreams. Have fun!!
