Things are Winding Down

I am retired.  People who have been retired for any length of time know that retirement leads to a variety of volunteer opportunities.  In my case much of my volunteer work is tied to the school year.  I tutor a third grader - those sessions ended for the year yesterday.  I also babysit for a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group and tomorrow is their last meeting til fall.  They will not be meeting during the summer because many of them have older children who will be out of school for the summer.  Next Tuesday, when my youngest grandchild graduates from eighth grade, will be the last day that I ever need to pick up a grandchild after school (at least on a regular basis).  While I do enjoy the volunteer work that I do, I must admit that I am looking forward to some "time off."  I guess I've never really outgrown the thrill of summer vacation. It's a time to play and I'm going to be in a play so I guess that's appropriate.  Hooray for summer!!!
