I consider today to be my first day of retirement as it’s a Monday and is the first day I am not at work.  It’s been a fairly quiet day, I haven’t done anything exciting or really worthy of a first day of retirement.  Mostly I’m preparing the house for this weekend when we’ll sell all of our furniture and most of our belongings, as well as packing and organizing what we’re planning to put in the trailer and take with us.

The first day of our new adventure will really come on August 1st when we have everything sold or donated, the trailer packed and hitched to the truck, Laddy in the back seat and we take off!
