Congrats! I have retired twice now, but will probably take a part-time job at some point just as something else. I'm still not getting as much done quilting wise as I want (other things come up and I let them distract me).

I retired for a year and decided I was too young and went back to work. Been almost 2 years back at work. Doubt I ever retire for good. My Husband has no plans to retire.

Good for you...time will go faster than you think. I gave a year's notice, but also reduced my work week to 3 days a week...no Monday's or Friday's...I had a really great employer. Now my full time job is taking care of my husband, and I took up quilting after retirement to fill the gap of so much working with computers. Love the quilting...now got 6 vintage machines and 2 fancy computerized ones. This place has been my "university of choice" since then although I was inspired by a really good friend who took me to my first quilt show. Hope you have lots of good times ahead.

Congrats! You'll be surprized at how little free time you have when you're retired lol So much to do, so little time!

I love being retired, but don't get as much sewing and quilting done as I had planned. Why? Because I spend too much time on the QB, Facebook, and Pinterest and crocheting. It's wonderful to stay up until midnight and sleep until 8:30 or 9:00 and nobody cares. I can be as energetic or lazy as I wana be.
