Retirement happenings

Dan is loving retirement and I am loving it right along with him!   We found a cottage and are in the process now of buying it!! It is small 2 bedroom, 1 bath home on a large all sports lake that is part of a chain of lakes. It is on a nice piece of property and includes a pole barn. Sharing a few photos, mainly of the view and the yard. I will share more of the inside and more details when it is officially ours.

 

Dan has lots of plans and ideas for the property.  We look forward to the time we will spend there.

This is going to be a quiet, peaceful and relaxing get away. 

Dan's retirement party is this Saturday.  He really didn't want a party, in fact he refused to have one for a while, but gave in. So many family and friends want to celebrate this happy time, so he agreed. It will be a great time!  We are having it at a hall, the VFW that Dan is a member of.  

 Much Joy and Love

Latest news...retirement

Wow, it's been a while since I have posted!  Lots has been happening. Dan is now retired from Ford Motor Company! His first day of retirement was May 1st.   We are both very happy! We are having his retirement party next month, much planning going on.

We took a couple days and went upnorth, checking out some properties for sale. We would like to get a small cabin on a lake for a get away. Also if we own our own place upnorth, we can take the dogs with us. We always feel bad leaving Patch and Bentely behind when we go away.

Here is a pic of one of the places we checked out.

Dan was walking down to check out the lake.  Beautiful view, but very steep and too far from the house to the lake.

One of Dan's niece's, Rachael, and her family live in the area we were in, so we met up with them for lunch. Had a great time!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!
