Sweet Surprise



What a sweet surprise I received from my Honey this week! He brought these lovely pink roses home for me Thursday and they are so beautiful!



































He advised me he had put in his Retirement notice for December 1st and I could not be happier for him. The stress his career has put on him the past few years has made us wish he would have retired earlier but we are so happy it is happening now.
My retirement this Spring has made me realize there is allot more to life than work and I feel so blessed that I could retire at 55.
Our plans are to travel at least 6 months next year and we are so excited to explore the World!    




We look forward to stopping and smelling the Roses!

Thank you for stopping in for a visit....

Hugs,
Wanda
