We are now elderly pensioners...
The Big Day has finally come!
We have awaited this day in anticipation, (and maybe a small amount of trepidation ).
Patty and I are officially retired. Ready to begin the next phase in our journey and eagerly looking forward to our next ‘career’ as Post Employment Recreation and Leisure Specialists, with ancillary duties as Inter-Generational Progeny Indulgent Managers.
Wish us well, or envy, or sympathy, or ???

Congratulations!!! Wishing you many years of enjoying it together.

Re: We are now elderly pensioners...
Good for both of you! Not sure that elderly applies, though. Hope you enjoy retirement as much as kathy and I do. talk about indulgence Kathy just decided we had to have a travel trailer big enough for at least 1 grandchild. But it also had to have an outside shower. Guess why?

Retired...... What is this word you use? Is it Greek? It sounds Greek to me.
If you don't know where you're going, then any path will get you there.

When I was young, I got in trouble for playing in the mud. In my 20's, I got paid for it.oldranger wrote:Good for both of you! Not sure that elderly applies, though.

Ahhh for the good old days when I was 60 and retired. That year I took a really good BP trip to Kid Lakes.

Re: We are now elderly pensioners...
Just finished completing all the required paperwork...hot damn! Guess now I am officially old.
Don't really feel any different though...still expecting 3 months of typical Sierra shenanigans just ahead.
See you on the trails!
