Wow! <br /><br />Jeanie, I loved hearing your voice. The interview was just great. I think they are really going to miss you.<br /><br />I hardly know what to say, so I'll just say, may your retirement bring you great joy as you finally are able to do all those things you couldn't do while working. Hugs, and more hugs.

It is clear that you've had a wonderful job and been fortunate enough to have great colleagues. I suspect it will leave a gap - would be surprising if it did not - but I am sure that you will soon find many other things to do and people to be with. Most people who are retired say that they don't know how they ever found time to go to work! I'm wishing you the very best of luck for a cheerful and rewarding retirement.

The list of contacts you've made and people you've met is wonderful. About that book you should write?:) When you mentioned Graham Kerr it brought back a flood of memories of my mom. I had totally forgotten her fixation for him! I am not sure it was the show as much as his persona:).

Still it will take a while to get adjusted – for several months I would feel guilty to go to bed late because I thought I needed to get up early for work and also would think about what outfit to wear … then I’d remember that I did not have to worry about all this, but it took a little while. You will enjoy it.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-43122329431146279562013-09-19T16:58:41.422-04:002013-09-19T16:58:41.422-04:00I'm excited for you!

Oh Fred Rogers, I remember taking my children to meet him at our public television station many years ago. It is still brought to mind from time to time, especially by my son who still adores him. And Julia too, oh my! I know you have so many things on your list there is no way you will be a wet sticky leaf. I thought that first with my husband, but you do find a rhythm.

I am sure it's a bittersweet transition as you won't interaction on a daily basis with people that you have come to know and love, but you are such a 'connections' person, I know you will stay in touch with those you care about.
