Welcome from Lake Orion, Mich. Are you sure we aren't married to the same man?

My husband is also retired and I am enjoying his retirement, not so much. lol He seems to want to be with me a lot more than I want to be with him. Not that I don't want to be with him, just not so much. He wants to talk, talk, talk, and I enjoy the silence. Does anyone else have this problem? Boy, I sound kinda nasty, but I like to read and he wants to talk. I want to quilt, and he wants to talk. I do enjoy talking, but not the same subject over and over (unless it's something I want to talk about). We have 4 children, 5 grandchildren, 2 cats, and 6 horses. The horses keep hubby busy. I am looking forward to joining in with the conversation from time to time.

Hi Neighbor, I'm from AA. We'll have to get together. I know what you mean about the hubby. Got an idea - I'll send my hubby up to your place and you come down to mine. The guys can talk each others ears off. I hear the same things at least 3 times and then again when he repeats it to others.

I swear, if he ever retires I'm going to go find a job. I retired early so I could have some quiet time but I'm afraid it isn't going to last. We, too, had 4 kids. Now we have 8 grands and 3 great-grands.

Welcome to the board.

Hello and welcome from yet another Michigan quilter! I am sure you will love it here.

Hello and welcome from Woodhaven, MI. You will love it here. Everyone is so talented and helpful with projects. I am up your way every couple of weeks. Our youngest daughter and 2 grandson's live in New Hudson. They play football every Saturday.

Welcome, I live in Novi. I retired a year ago and my husband is also retired. He wants to go some where all the time and it takes me away from what I want to do. I recently bought a quilting frame and mid arm machine and took over the room he called his office. (an abandoned room of clutter.) I got him involved in remodeling it, cupboards galore and a base for my frame.

Good for you! Isn't it great to have a sewing room? My husband retired ten years ago. After about a month I found him laying on the couch saying he was bored. I put him on a project in the yard that involved landscape timbers and railroad ties. It took him over six weeks to complete and he hasn't complained of being "bored" since!!!

Welcome from North Carolina! Be sure to post pics of your finished projects
