She’s Retired…FINALLY!

Happy Retirement Day, Claire! 

Today is the LAST DAY of work for my friend, Claire!  She has been teaching for 32 years, in a total of FIVE different schools in the Victoria area.  Let’s do the math…24 kids every year times 32 years…oh and she taught Kindergarten, so we have to DOUBLE THAT because she would teach one class in the morning and then teach another set of kids in the afternoon…makes me tired just thinking about it!!  Let’s just say Claire has taught a mess of kids…well over a thousand!!  It’s so time!!  To look at Claire you would never think that she is retirement age…she looks young!  Yes, she has weathered those rug rats well!  I’m sure everyone was surprised when Claire made her ‘announcement’…how can someone who can run and jump and click her heels up so high, possibly retire??  YUP…she’s that young!! 

SEW now Claire gets to do all the things that she enjoys doing, like…

…wool work…lots of wool work…

…and dyeing wool…

And of course Quilting~

And lots and lots of lunches out with the girls…

…throw in gardening, shopping and raising her son…well I think Claire has plenty of stuff to do to keep her happy and out of trouble…plus throw her newly retired husband into the mix and well, let’s just say, I can’t see her missing those little ankle biters one bit!  Well maybe just a little….nahhhh… 

Claire we wish you well!!  You SEW deserve a wonderful and happy retirement!  Now do that {HAPPY DANCE}!!

Have a FUN Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
