Our fairly new retirement is a delightful blend of quiet time and connecting with people we care about. Today we went to a party and then had friends over.
The party was celebrating a wonderful woman who just endured the mixed blessing of unemployment. You know the feeling, lots of free time and enough savings to go for a while but the nagging fear you might never work again and die of starvation and neglect? Well, this party was to celebrate the new job and the freedom to fully enjoy these final days of unemployment.
0797 Employment Party
As her husband cut the (delicious!) cake, it had an almost wedding-like quality. We all felt so happy for them!
0799 Cake Study
Some were also happy about the cake, and this guy had a particularly studious enthusiasm. 🙂
In all, it’s been a relaxing and warm day that began with lounging around, transitioned to a leisurely drive into town for a library stop before the party at Rocky Nook Park, home for our visitors, and now a reputedly entertaining movie. What will tomorrow bring?
