Great pics--thanks for sharing! Have fun with your girls weekend. Any special plans or just hanging out and enjoying the testosterone-free zone? :)
We are just hanging out! Binge watch some tv, read and lots of junk food. :applause: She wants to learn to cross stitch too, so maybe she can pick a simple pattern and I can help her with that. No real plans, we will just do whatever!

Just a shout out to those who are already retired or semiretired (or even know someone who's retired!) - did you find the adjustment a bit challenging? How long does it take for you to feel better about a new routine or the fact that you are collecting a pension but don't have to go to work?

I think after so many years of working I somehow feel a bit guilty about not accomplishing enough or being more productive. I know - everyone thinks it's the greatest thing and look forward to it but some days I think it would be nice to be back at work. Anyone else ever heard of this or am I just a strange person (okay - don't answer that last question) :tounge:

It's been six months now for me - I heard somewhere it takes about a year to adjust. Any thoughts?

The hardest adjustment for me was getting used to my husband being around 24/7. Filling the day with things to do was easier than I thought.

Finally Friday!! :applause:

Scott is taking his brother and Ty up the mountain tomorrow. They will be gone a few days. Evan has to work so he can't go. It is still a bit early for me to go up. Still too cold at night for me. So Ali and I will have a (mostly) girls weekend while Evan is working and the others are camping.

Want to share a few pics...

Brandon, Marti and the grandbabies were in Denver this last week for a wedding. Marti and the kids were all part of the wedding. :love_heart:

Tried to get a pic of Evan and his new ride to upload but I couldn't resize it enough without cropping him almost out of the picture! :D But he is the proud new owner of a Chevy Trailblazer.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Big hugs and positive vibes to all! :love_heart:


Very nice Pictures, thank you :applause:

Thanks for sharing these. I think this is the first time I've seen you and your family. Good looking group. You have the cutest kids I've ever seen. What mountains are they going to?

That is my oldest son, my daughter in law and my grandbabies!! They are pretty cute, though, aren't they! :biggrin2: Thank you!

Going to the Bighorn mountains. Love it up there. I hope to get to go later this summer, has been a couple years since I've gotten to go with.

Oh, sorry. I must have missed that part. I need to Google Bighorn mountains. I drove across Wyoming in 2015 and saw mountains on my way to Yellowstone but don't know what they were called. Here's a pic of me stretching my legs and neck.

A lot of people go through the Bighorns on their way to Yellowstone! It is the more scenic route. But I do think it is a more round a bout way of getting there.

I just checked. We did. I think we clipped the bottom range and hopped onto 14 through Cody and into the western entrance of Yellowstone. You have a beautiful state. I wish I lived that close to Montana.

Thanks! We kinda like it. ;)

We are hoping to maybe take the kids to Yellowstone this summer. Will depend on if we can get work schedules to sync up.

They are all so cute!!! Hope you and Ali enjoy your weekend! Sounds fun!!

Neesy - I agree with the ideas given. Volunteer work and a new hobby might help. Best of luck to you!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Happy Canada Day to all the Canucks on the board!!!
