Those are some nice looking tomatoes. I set out a fall scene puzzle to work but not got started yet. I work about 5 pieces a day, so it takes a while to complete. Congrats on your retirement plans. Karen
ReplyDeleteIt seems once I start a puzzle I can hardly quit. lol Thank you and have a great day Karen.
DeleteBirthday month!!! YAHOOO
ReplyDeleteWOW. Retirement is really coming for you... get that countdown going!!!
I'm getting more and more ready for it!
DeleteI am so excited for you to be getting so close to your retirement date...when is it exactly? I know you are getting anxious. It will be wonderful!! Trust me!!You will wonder how you ever found time to work once you are retired! LOL. That beef roast in the crock pot sure sounded good to me. I keep waiting for them to go on sale so I can buy a good one, but they are still so high in price so we eat a lot of chicken and pork. I never thought ground beef and chuck roasts would cost twice as much as chicken or pork. I am happy you all enjoyed yours. Oh, that Amish dinner does sound SO good. I love places like that. I can't believe you did that puzzle so quickly! That's amazing. I had to give up on the last one I tried. Just couldn't work at it enough because of my neck issues, and I finally just gave up. Maybe I need to find a simpler one! LOL. I hope your September is a wonderful month for you!!!
ReplyDeleteDecember 31, 2021 is my last day and first day of retirement is January 1, 2022. It was only a 300 piece puzzle so it didn't take too long to work.
DeleteHow fun that you and hubby both have August birthdays!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had lots of yummy meals this month. Good luck in the retirement planning!
(visiting from the link up)
Thank you.
DeleteCongrats on the unofficial official retirement coming! Good for you! Do keep us posted as you can! It seems like August was good to you!! xo
ReplyDeleteLife has been good in August and I'm sure I'll be talking about retirement as lot in the next months. I have a countdown clock in my sidebar on the right.
DeleteIt sounds like you are winding down to retirement nicely - once you've done it you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you started and finished a jigsaw within 24 hours!
I'm so looking forward to retirement and think I'll be really happy with it. The puzzle was only 300 pieces, so it went pretty fast.
DeleteHappy birthday to you and your hubby; how neat that you have the same birthday month!
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes, it's been fun over the years.
