the golden years

Well, today is my husbands last day on the job, officially. At 4:30 this afternoon, he will join the ranks of the unemployed/retired/slackers, the "golden years." He's had some time to get used to the idea now. I think he's happy to not be an employee anymore but he's still struggling with some other things. Like, being old and not having any money. I can't help him with the being old part. He is, in fact, old. I've done my best to assure him that we aren't going to end up in the poor house though. I guess that would be hard to accept - that you aren't working but you still have an income. Granted, he won't be able to buy any ol' gun he wants anymore but geeze, he's not an octopus! How many do you need? And, I think he's wondering about what he's going to do with all his time, while he's waiting for ME to retire. I'm working on a folder in Pinterest, just for him. I named it, 'honey do this for me.'
It's filled with all the things I think he could build and/or make for me. I'm pretty sure between the things that need to be done around the house and my 'honey do' list, he won't be totally bored. Plus!!! We should get another dog!!!!!! THAT would keep him busy!!!


DON'T FORGET YOUR MOMS THIS WEEKEND!!!
