Just about everybody works with an eye on the light at the end of the tunnel, the light being retirement. We all put in those years in the work force looking forward to the time that we can do what we want, when we want, and relax...especially relax. Well be forewarned that retirement can be as hectic as any job only more so because you are doing what you want to do.
Here at Texas Trails we enjoy our time in the office. It is relaxing and low pressure and well worth the compensation we get. On the other hand as residents of the park we like to volunteer as a way of getting to know the other residents. It also lets us get involved in groups, activities, and other get togethers. If we are not careful we can get ourselves over extended as we did the past two weeks. Between the holiday preparations and the weekly Chuck Wagon dinner we knew it would be a busy time. Add to that one of the girls in the office had a family emergency and as the friends we have become over the years we stepped in to fill the gap. Also as will happen in a group of people of a certain age (seniors) someone wasn't feeling well and could not do the shopping for the kitchen activities. As a Chuck Wagon volunteer we volunteered to do the shopping for the next two weeks. Toss in our usual household chores and a doctor's visit or two and the last two weeks has us beyond tired or retired. We are now reretired.
This next week has a lot of blanks on the calender and the plan is to keep it that way. A relaxing week and a planned date night just for the two of us will go miles to help us recharge our batteries before the next round of holidays. Christmas will be just the two of us but we have volunteered to take charge of decorating for New Years Eve and will also help in the kitchen. After that we have President's Day, St Patrick's Day, Valentines Day, Easter, and (we should be gone by then) Memorial Day. All these holidays are celebrated in one way or another in the park. Based on our full calender I'm not sure when I had time to work before retirement.
I have been making time to blog in the middle of all that has been going on but I will say goodbye for now from our home in South Texas because.....
Home is where we park it,

Your light at the end of the tunnel is the smiles and friends you make along the way. The tunnel opening will be your goal that retirement is where and when you make it. Keep going strong, you guys are great!!!
