WOW, that will give lots of time to shop for REAL bargins, so if it takes you awhile to find a new job (if indeed yours is gone), you will be able to sew till you find a new job with out feeling guilty about spending money. Always be happy with a little as some people have none. Also you may find a better job, it happened for me.

Having time for yourself is a precious gift. Not many women get to enjoy that kind of freedom. Do what you want...everything will still be waiting for you tomorrow. Worry about it then.

What great news! Sleep in as late as you want!

the next logical step is to paint a quilt ! it's very fun and allows you two creative processes in one. try it and enjoy!!

In Phoenix teachers go back at the beginning of August! So stinking hot the kids can't go out to recess, but I do enjoy June and July! Good luck and enjoy your summer.

sounds so wonderful ... enjoy your time off... i lost my job as a secretary for a construction company and have not been able to find another one so i am going to take my social security when i turn 62 in sept...

I'm a sooner, I'd just as soon be alone or have someone around. I don't mind being alone but at night fall I better have one of the kids with me!
I used to make plans for the summer, Bill and I had a wonderful time when we were together. But then things change...he's still around, we're married 14 yrs but seperated 8 of them. Enjoy your time and feel blessed.
