Our good friends will be married 50years in May. Our son is married 23 years.

I remember you from a few years ago. I was a classroom teacher until 2020 and Covid. The librarian’s job was open and part time. I had a degree in library science which I never used so for four years I became the librarian. But I turned 72 and said I need some time for my husband and me. We will be married 50 years in August.

I was part of this group when it first started and everyone was retiring. I was a little young then but now it is reality. After 42 1/2 years of teaching, I am retiring. Actually I have been working part time in the school library for the last 4 years. But now I am ready.

We live in the area. Cruises out of Baltimore will have to be rerouted including all the traffic going from DC to Baltimore. My husband use to travel this bridge many times when he was in sales .

This board should be a book. It follows a world epidemic until present day by people who enjoy the same activity of cruising. It shows all the changes that our world went through since March of 2020. I kept telling my students that you are living through a time in history that we will never forget like the world wars or 911.

I remember your name from this thread. I enjoyed teaching and I was not ready to retire completely. So I am using the other part of my degree (library science) to continue to work in a school. As the librarian, I don't have to correct papers or do report cards. I do have to teach the students about books and read to them especially to the young ones.

I have not written since Nov. but lots of things have been happening. We went on both cruises (the Chrismas and my birthday cruise in Feb.) and did not get Covid. Came home and got it from a friend. We did not have it bad. I cashed in a small 403b so that we could redo our kitchen, floors in kitchen and livingroom and build a new shed. Waiting to finish it in the next two weeks. We have another cruise planned in 4 weeks. This is the first year we have taken 3 cruises in one year but we did not cruise for 2 years before because of Covid. Eveybody's retirement is different.
