There was no time to plan ahead as it was a last minute offer from from DH company. My only request...don't rearrange the kitchen. He didn't and he does most of the dishes. I cook. I didn't change the church quilting group on Tuesday and Bible Study and lunch on Wednesday. After almost 54 years of marriage I am getting a bit G'G'mahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05219555579054985607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-66411207786771413092008-06-22T05:21:00.000-05:002008-06-22T05:21:00.000-05:00I have come to enjoy your BLOG very much!!

We sort of wing it, lunch is flexable, and he pitches in. Crockpots are nice, and soups that can be reheated, and best of all going out for lunch.

After all, he likes to stay busy, right? I really don't think all the adjustments to a husband's retirement should be made by the wife. I'm looking at the same thing in just a few years and really don't intend to drop everything to fix another meal each day. Good luck & hope he enjoys his retirement.<BR/><BR/>LindaQuiltinLibraryLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392850776832804028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29952936.post-21531733109256340712008-06-20T12:15:00.000-05:002008-06-20T12:15:00.000-05:00My hubby is the one who will have to be flexible, ...My hubby is the one who will have to be flexible, because I'm the one who will be retiring.
