Lynne, my dad was like your dad - but he retired at age 55 and he too owned his own business, construction, he built schools, the Huntington Beach items and Long Beach buildings around the beaches etc. Trust me I know about work ethics, I've worked since I was 15 years old, our parents instilled in us, if we want something we have to work for it, so I am still working.
Things are really scary, I never in my wildest dreams thought something would happen at our office. They eliminated a position so that leaves me there by myself and doing everything, including answering the phones. My heart went out to the person I worked with after working at the office 9 years and poof it was gone in a heartbeat with no warning. How scary is that, one day to have a job and the next, it's gone. It's a sign of dollars and cents and how far it will go. There is supposed to be some major cuts in education and possible major teacher cuts.
Pat and Phyllis, I will be right there with you and Sandi, door greeters at Walmart. No retirement in site for me as yet. I do believe the stock market took care of that for us at this moment. Now if they rebound, it will be great. I have decided not to open the envelopes when they come in anymore - just ride it out.
I'm still planning on Las Vegas providing everything is alright with our parents. They seem to be doing much better now. There are good days and there are bad days. My dad is amazing, in spite of all the pain he endures, he just keeps going. God Bless him and mom too.
I love all of your stories, keep them coming - we need to laugh now.
Love to all,
Lorene
