Worked for the school district for 25 yrs as a classroom aide, computer lab teacher, and finally as an attendance records secretary. Retired 4 years ago and love it. Miss the people, not the job. Husband retired a year ago and now we are both stress free 8-)

Elementary school music teacher for 34 years now. Also private piano teacher. Like having about 15 private students, but my husband took an early retirement so took everyone off my wait list and now have 22 piano students. I know we need the money, but what was I thinking?

Retired autoworker, worked full time while raising beef cattle, red veal and white veal, we also had 1500 to 2000 rabbits depending on the baby bunnies. We also raised sheep and hogs very briefly. Since retiring my DH decided we want to operate a horse riding and boarding stable. I decided I would rather be quilting so that is what I do.

I started out at 16 in a 5 and 10 store, then a loan rep at a finace co, then at a bank and then started doing the good ole tax return in 1965 and I am still doing them. The tax returns are just like sewing. the 5 and dime and the finance co are both gone and the bank had changed from a locally owned bank to new style of banks. I want the locally owned bank. Everything is right there. I thought quilting would be boring, even though my grandmother did it and I remember sitting under the quilting frame while the ladies quilted. Then I got lost in quilting, I love the material, just love looking at it--hate cuting up but then I finally do and I really enjoy hand work. I just lose myself in it, no one else is around.
