3-28-16 - First Golf of Retirement




   Lauren and I met Anita at Hollywood Casino in Bay St Louis, Ms. to gamble and golf.  We played our first golf of retirement at The Bridges.  The ground was soggy from all the heavy rains, but the day was beautiful and warm.  Lauren managed to hit $500 on the slot machine.  I hit more than I wanted of golf strokes, LOL.  It was a great time.  We obviously need to spend more of our retirement days practicing golf!!

WHOO HOO, I AM RETIRED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



 The day we have been looking forward to for the last 25 years is finally here.  I am officially retired from nursing.  I have had an amazing career.  I loved being a nurse. I will greatly miss taking care of patients. I have experienced the beginning of life and the end of life with many people.  It has been tough at times, but overall nursing has been a rewarding career. The best part of nursing has been the coworkers I have worked with. The St. Dominic team was more like family than coworkers. St. D has been an awesome place to work. I could not ask for a better manager or coworkers.

  This all being said, I am looking forward to retirement, and so is Lauren. He no longer has to get my grumpy butt  up at 5 am, (actually last wake up call was 5:20 am).  I am looking forward to the next couple of months of staying at the Rez and walking, riding my bicycle, and fishing for white perch.   It will be nice not to have to plan my life around a work schedule.
