He just finished his PhD May 2023, while still working for and has finally decided it’s time. So I am readying our retirement golf villa in Viera FL so he can retire sometime in the very near future.

22 times. We have lived in Missouri, DC three times, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Colorado, Florida three times, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania.
We have three grown children (all married), seven grand children and one great grandchild. All three children reside in Florida. So retirement means more family time. We are healthy, contented, happy, and enjoying life.
Workplace
