The reason for this blog is to write myself through a new phase in my life - retirement. I have worked since I was 10 years old. Some people describe me as a workaholic; I describe myself as a successful business owner who has worked smart and long hours to make it in the business world.

I am glad some of the info on my site was helpful! I promise you, I work with this stuff every day! I know it's true, but living it all the time is a different matter. The good thing is, once we know, we're at least aware and it really seems like things are so much easier to deal with. I am very glad to hear that you are not sitting on the sofa watching tv! Good for you!

Hello! I love your title line! I can't tell you how many times I tip-toed down to the barn in heels and hose--through the snow--to feed before I drove down the mountain to Denver to work. You just can't get all the hay off. Ah, you do what you have to do!

I posted a new comment on my blog last night - did you see it? I don't understand blogging and I don't know if anyone saw what I wrote. It was titled "New Additions" It was a nice update; I hope it can be found and/or red. Thanks so much. Love your new Sundae Toppers - your receipes are great.

Hello,
How are you doing with your retirement?

Well, retirement is slow. I have 2 obstacles; the first is I love to work; the 2nd is getting my mind set for retirement. It is difficult to retire from a profession where you put your heart and soul into making it successful. It is very similar to raising children - I loved every minute of raising them and then one day they grew up, were independent, and left home. They all live locally and 2 of the 3 work within our office so I do have the luxury of seeing them on a daily basis.
That is my retirement dilema.

The picture posted is a picture of our farm the day after Christmas, December 26, 2010. This is very unusual for us because the last time we had a white Christmas was in 1993.
Today, January 2, 2011, the temp is 49 degrees w/strong winds so it seems colder than the 49 degrees. I worked outside for awhile but decided the wind was too strong to make it enjoyable being outside.
This morning when I woke up, I went downstairs as usual to start the coffee and look out the french doors to see if there are any deer; however, today, to my surprise, I was looking at our 4 horses who decided to get out of the pasture and take a walk-about. Thank goodness they decided to stay on the farm instead of going visiting.

Today is January 1, 2011, the first day of the beginning of my semi-retirement. I am going to phase into this taking off every Wednesday and weekends. This is a big step for me since my business requires 24/7 attention. Running a business one day and turning over the reins to someone else the next day is very difficult for me to do. So, I am taking baby steps.
However, I have plenty to keep me busy on the farm so I will not retire and sit on the sofa watching TV. That is not my nature. I cannot stand to sit - what a waste of time.
