There was a haze in the air when I took this photo. Maybe there were forest fires out west which caused the sun to be red. This was taken June 2013. I have forgotten why the sun was red. I do know that it is now "High Noon".
high noon
noun: high noon; plural noun: high noons
It is High Noon in the Hofmeister household.
It is time to decide the final outcome of the situation.
It is time to decide when I retire and leave my current situation.
It is not as easy as one might expect.
It is not as easy as I had expected.
"I can't wait until I retire!"
"When I retire I'll do this! I'll do that!"
"I can't wait until I retire!"
Then the time comes and the thoughts begin . . .
Will I have enough money?
I hear that someone retires and then has health issues!
Can I be in the same room with my dear husband, 24/7?
Will I become lazy and sleep until noon?
Will I be less active and put on (more) weight?
What will I do with my time?
Will I sell my house? Live in a shoe? Winter down south?
I am meeting with IPERS this week.
(nope! postponed until January 24 due to possible inclement weather.)
I have checked on Social Security.
We have moved one investment fund; should we move others?
We are checking our funds, checking them twice and compounding Interest.
Will 'work' miss me when I go? lol. that doesn't matter!
What changes are ahead, around the bend, down the road?
This Nana is going to fasten her seatbelt. I'll hang on tight! I'm ready to roam, to travel, explore! Expect an announcement anytime soon!
Update. Expect an announcement after January 24, 2014.

1st of all, that picture of the sun is absolutely STUNNING!!! 2nd of all, I am sure it must be terrifying to walk away from work (something you have done for most of your life). I can't imagine what that must feel like. But I am sure new adventures await you and I look forward to hearing about all of your travels and excitement! Keep us posted!
well, as my ol' pappy(Maverick) would say, "just gitter done"
We got things to do!!

Agree with Erica! You have worked so hard all of your life that you now deserve to enjoy it.
As for you being in the same room with dad 24/7, that may be tough! LOL But if any couple can figure it out, it'd be you two!
IPERS visit postponed again! I cancelled it so I could work OT and earn double time for holiday pay. See . . . it is tough to quit : (
