Grateful for the federal government the other end.

Yes, I am still a year later grateful to the federal government.  Yes, go back and read this one and you will begin to understand why.

However, a lot has changed in the last year. Last year, I was writing about the beginning of my husband's career... and this year,  I am writing about the end of that same career.  And the funny thing is, we had been considering when he should retire.  Should it be September.. which would make it a full 25 years, or January when it would be better financially... but in the end, due to an opportunity that came our way at just the right moment, it was August.  this was the retirement party.  The blanket ad flowers were presented to ME.. yes

Happy Retirement to US!!!!! 

More on that later.
