Congratulations! Hope you enjoy it. I got to retire last year at age 52 (early retirement). I'm finding out that what everybody says is true: "How did I ever find the time to DO everything and still work?" :-D :?: :-D

Hi and a warm welcome from the UK. I retired 7 months ago and I have been so busy ever since with sewing quilts, reading, catching up with all the tv series I never had time to watch and reading that I wonder how I ever found the time to go to work. Retirement is great.
