Now we're back at work in Walla Walla, almost too busy again, but it's because we've both decided to retire and we're occupied with how to end our current careers in the next 1-6 months. We've given end dates to our supervisors: Judd - January 18; Melanie - June 22. "Yes, 2019," I had to tell many colleagues. I tell people I'm going West into the sunset. Judd tells people he's camping his way to the Arctic Circle. People tell us they're jealous.
Judd is a short-timer so spending fewer hours prepping and grading and more screen time perusing websites for campers and ferries to Alaska. I've got a count down electronic calendar running. The excitement helps us get through the grey, wet days here. Helps a little. I'm still pretty grumpy that I've got 159 more days til we depart.
Shipped a case of wine as luggage!
Our boys have turned the living room into a gaming room. So fun to see them playing together.
Artisan bread bakers, extraordinaire: both Kelcy and Ryley!
Ryley and Megan prepping for big holiday party in MA.
Countdown calendar, to-the-second, until my real life starts:
