I can smell the Old Bay seasoning & the coconut in the sunscreen that everyone is wearing.

Hiya, Cars! I bet you have a smile for everyone you encounter. 

Is retirement everything you hoped it would be?

I was making myself sick to death as retirement day got closer and closer! (It kinda snuck up on me when I wasn't looking)
I had gone to a hundred of "other's" retirement parties, and all of a sudden, it was now mine.

After I actually lived through retirement day, I immediately began to like it! After the first week or so, I started to not miss working at all.
It was the people I missed, (well most of them, some, not so much) not the working part. I learned my job was what I did, it was not who I was.

As time went bye, I could not believe that I ever have had to work, and did/do not miss it at all!
My company emailed me, and called me for 2 years asking if I wanted to come back as a "consultant" for an obscene  hourly rate, and I was still not tempted!

RETIREMENT IS GRAND! I can't imagine ever having had to work!  Now I do what I want, when I want "IF" I want!
