ernrol Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 What a great week this has been. I got a good report on my PET scan, I turned 70 on the 27th and the 30th was my last day of work. I guess I am officially retired even tough I have never received an official letter. They did have a retirement dinner. That’s how I know I am retired. What do you expect form a 20 billion dollar company. Now maybe I won’t get behind answering email. I will have lots of time for golfing and fishing, I think. I have heard from my better half something about garden, house chores and cooking dinner again. Maybe I won’t have so much time after all. I will start working on recipes that include cancer fighting ingreitents. I promiss they will start to appear. Life is good and the Lord is great! Stay positive, Ernie Quote

chloesmom Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Congratulations, Ernie! Sounds like retirement is going to be a busy time for you! Isn't it great that you can do all those things, though? Cindy Quote
Sis Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Ernie, I heard a term the other day that was new to me..."RUPPIES". Retired Urban Professionals. Now you can have a new title! Congrats on your retirement!! Ellie Quote
Tiny Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Ernie- I highly recommend the retired life as being healthful and anti-cancer! Sounds like you have plenty to keep you and yours happy and involved. Go for it! Quote
Welthy Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Congrats on retirement! (We've enjoyed ours.) Sounds like your wife has been busy planning a retirement "honeydew" list for you. Welthy Quote
daddyslittlegirl Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 That is awesome! Hope you find some time to do some more traveling. Love to hear some good stories! Quote
Jyoung20 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Wonderful news Ernie!!!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!!! God Bless! Jamie Quote
Ry Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Yeah the dinner must have been a clue...hopefully a monthly check comes with it. I am glad you get to kick back and enjoy life. Nothing like a garden to keep the stress down. Congratulations. Quote
recce101 Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 But no gold watch?? Actually, I don't think "retired" and "Ernie" can be used in the same sentence. You'll always be involved in something, stirring the pot so to speak... Congratulations nevertheless!! Aloha, Ned Quote

teriw Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 That IS great news Ernie -- all of it! Somehow you don't strike me as the kind of person who allows yourself to have too much time on your hands! Looking forward to those recipes! Quote
