Wednesday August 11th

Today, I sent a formal letter of resignation to Mr. McCabe, Principal of Clay High School. I am not returning to Clay High this year. You know you need a change when your spirit is screaming to you to stay where you are happy. I needed a changed and will look for a job here in Maine. Danny is planning to retire too and will be here at the end of October 2010 unless he finds a job sooner.
I am officially retired...it feels good.

My days are filled with keeping my cottage clean, working in my yard and flowers, tending the small vegetable garden, meeting friends for lunch each Thursday, visiting with a recovering sick friend and taking her to yard sales and lunch on Saturday's, working on the serving line at the Sea-View Campground, picking blueberries, making pickles, and enjoying the beautiful summer days of Maine.
