Happy Winter!
So I'm technically on Christmas holiday from work, no we don't call it that any more, I'm not technically retired until the first of the year.
But as I am footloose and fancy free, and have grandkids within a day's drive, we're off to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay. Hopefully it won't be as frigid as in that lovely opening photo, hopefully it will be warmer than this ...

Yup, Friday's weather was a bit wintery. Started as rain, switched to a mix, eventually had a couple of inches of heavy wet snow. Roads stayed good, which was fortunate as we went out to dinner courtesy of good friends. (To celebrate my retirement, aber natürlich, very nice Portuguese restaurant.)
But Annapolis got mostly rain, so we've got that going for us.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some grandchildren I need to entertain.
I'll be back ...
Said in a completely, non-Austrian¹, friendly sort of way.
Be well.
¹ Arnold Schwarzenegger is Austrian, not German. Just thought I'd point that out.
Have fun on your Christmas vacation Sarge, don't have too much more digging out from the six inches we got Thursday.
ReplyDeleteSix? Rare in these parts.
DeleteSarge, being able to spend time with grandkids is the finest aspect on retirement, IMHO. So have fun and wish them a Merry Christmas from all your devoted followers. Safe Travels.

Time with grandkids is priceless!
DeleteSafe travels and a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rob. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
DeleteMy eldest brother and his wife moved to RI a year ago to be close to their son and his family. This morning he sent photos of the ~5" of that white stuff that started accumulating yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if you have some fun times in your bear future. Enjoy!
Where is he in Little Rhody?
DeleteBon voyage!
ReplyDeleteYour time, your schedule, so plan to enjoy it, while remaining flexible to alter any way you like. I am sure the grandkids will be happy, albeit perhaps confused that Santa's beard has vanished.
The snow may or may not be there when you get home, and no one will care either way.

We ran out of snow in southern Jersey.
DeleteA vacation preceding retirement? Sweet!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time off and away to celebrate your permanent time off and away.
The only way to fly!
DeleteKind of blurring the lines between vacation, and retirement- double dipping in a way. I'm looking forward to your posts as written from your new "job."
ReplyDeleteI look at it as vacation as I'm still on the payroll until January. But it reall is retirement as there's no need to go back.
DeleteYes, double dipping, kinda sorta.
