BevBeautiful picture of Ireland, Sure and those are 40 shades of green, (Why am I typing with an accent?)

BevThat poor dog, His owner has some ’splaning to do!

Peter should’ve retired 5 years ago, before he went batty.

Working 48 years at the Post Office will do that.

You should see what they did in their living room with 52 potatoes.

Uncle Louie worked 62 years at the Post Office.

Digger is contemplating making Mr. Worthington’s retirement permanent

Thanks everyone! These are GREAT ideas for when I retire!I’ll probably be an Uncle Louie, though.

Baby steps, Roland.

Roland has had to ease into retirement…

He’s always been a serious person, and a hard worker.

Even his hobbies were hard work….

Retirement wasn’t even something he contemplated…until one day…

He still works hard…but not every day….he takes more breaks, and even allows himself the occasional flight of fancy…which Evelyn has always encouraged…

But now she wonders if one of these days, he’s going to go too far.

Once again, these comics are links back to their original dates and forums… if you’d like to time-travel, I suggest right-clicking and opening in a new window.

Bev and Shika… I replied to each of you at the end of yesterday’s forum…hope you saw my posts.

Good morning BS readers. Peace. :)

Roland’s Roadside Restaurant running rapidly reverse; Roland rethinking retirement.

Spring is here and it is warm,just came back from a 130mi ride on 116 Deerfield to 2 in N Adams down the Mohawk Trail into G’burg to Northfield then home on Magic mountain. :) Peace.

Wow, mudd… how long did that take? I didn’t realise you ride so far.

In an ancient “Beetle Bailey,” Gen. Halftrack screamed he’d had it with the Army and was going to retire. Ms. Buxley looked out the window and said, “He really doesn’t mean it.” “How can you tell?” she was asked. She replied, “Because he’s burning his papers in triplicate.”

Shika.. .Yes, thank you! In fact, . I thanked you late on that days forum…. right before the turn, I think, AND on the next day’s, right afterward….and later I asked whether you saw it…I guess you don’t check back very often!_______________

Shika.. .Yes, thank you! In fact, . I thanked you late on that days forum…. right before the turn, I think, AND on the next day’s, right afterward….and later I asked whether you saw it…I guess you don’t check back very often!_______________I try, Susan. Really I do try to check, but I get lost in the videos and stuff, and then I wander off down memory lane and lose it. My memory, I mean. I am glad you got my disguise. I worked hard to find one that no one would recognize! :-)

Peter needs an easy chair. Lose the desk!

Six, I am glad you post here too. I had no idea how easy it is to lose someone on this site by just shortening your queue. It is nice to know that people are looking out for you though, isn’t it?(What did you do wrong? lol)

Good Night Ballard Dears.

Bev… thank you, but…I’m afraid if they fit YOU, those shoes would be far too big for me.

(Oh yeah… she’s three sizes smaller than me … my…. er… my…. well, my foot!Her big toe wouldn’t fit in my dainty little glittery shoe.)

Glad you saw my post, Shika.

Of course I’ll do your pedi, Bev!

I wouldn’t let huge feet stand in the way of a friendship… or a job!

Good sundae morning BS’rs. Nice warm day,maybe i’ll chance a ride today. Still weary,not a good nights sleep.Sigh.

Should have posted this a couple days ago, REST IN PEACE, BEN E. KING, ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! Listening to him now, on my headphones

I did it the easy way with a year of disability first.
