Retirement?

Charlie's official last day of work was Friday, January 17, 2014, so this past week has been his first "official" week of retirement.  So far it seems a little surreal - kind of like he is on vacation and this will all come to an end soon.  But at the same time, it was wonderful having him home all week.  We took in a movie, went to the temple, watched grandkids, and set some goals for what we would like to accomplish now that he no longer has to clock in everyday.  Some of the things we would like to accomplish are:

*  Attend the temple more often
*  Write our personal histories
*  Spend more time with family
*  Visit Will and his family in Florida
*  Serve missions - Service and proselyting
*  Take more Cruises- some of the places we would like to see are:
         Panama Canal
         Eastern Caribbean
         Asia
         The Baltic
         The Mediterranean
         South America
*  Travel by car - some of the places we would like to see are:
          Church History sites
           Fall leaves in the northeast
           San Antonio
           Chicago Blues Festival
           Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
*  Commit to a regular exercise routine
*  Charlie would like to become more proficient on the guitar
*  Patti would like to become more proficient at quilting and sewing

I don't know if we will be able to accomplish all of these goals or not, but the main reason we wanted Charlie to retire at age 62 was so that we would be healthy enough to still enjoy life and be able to serve the Lord in whatever capacity He might see fit to use us.
