DH retired and was loving it for TWO WEEKS! He told me one morning that he needed a reason to get up and there was nothing for him to do.

He was right; our lawn is rock, desert plants and cacti with a drip system and the house was new so no maintenance yet.

He got the best job working 8:00 am to Noon and time off whenever he needs it. He comes home happy every day and we always have something to talk about.

*Example:
He was telling me about a woman who when she got out of her car the wind caught her dress and it nearly blew over her head and he said he didn't even look!

Is that the most amazing thing? What a gentleman.

He gets no company benefits as he already has insurance through Medicare and his retirement plan.

He and I are both thrilled with the extra play money and he feels good about working. It's a win-win!
