Early Retirement I Hope Stiles is Right

[Parrothead]

On Friday May 27th we made the decision that I needed to retire due to health problems. It was at least a year earlier than we had planned (Ed is already retired). I was a little bit overwhelmed and slightly depressed by it all. But what better way to beat that depression than spend the weekend with all the wonderful MOC members that attended the western region rally at Mt. Shasta! We had such a great time and appreciate all the hard work that went into the planning. We are looking forward to next year. We have been really busy breaking camp in Morgan Hill and getting everything down south. We are not sure yet what we are going to do when we grow up but for now it is a lot of garage sales, selling at least one of three vehicles and then start looking for a new truck. I have been a workaholic for at least 30 years so this is going to be a be change for me.
