Well, we are turning the page to a new chapter in our lives. The wife and I are retiring July 31!!!!! We both have worked for the City of Charlotte for more than a couple of decades and it is time. We have a couple of situations both good and bad that are allowing us to pull the trigger. But we are very blessed and thankful for where we are!
All kinds of events this year: the son graduated NCSU and got his first full-time job as a job recruiter this past December, the daughter is getting married this coming Saturday, graduated Auburn Vet School and has a job at a large animal clinic just north of Durham, NC. The new way of life is hard to mentally grasp at this point but the one thing I do understand is the unlimited potential to go Podding whenever we get the urge and not just on the few unbusy weekends it seems we've always had. Mid-week, un-crowded campgrounds....here we come. Pod rallies.....here we come. Long, extended trips across multiple states and regions.....here we come.
