Retired! - Jubilado

Toralf finally did it! He walked out of work Friday noon, August 26 for the last time. We are now officially retired. I love the Spanish word for retired, "jubilado." Reminds me of jubilation. It does seem to be a joyous word. Hope it is a joyous time as we enter a new phase in our lives.

We are actually going back to the office Tuesday morning for a farewell breakfast and then Wednesday heading for Glacier for 6 days. Haven't a clue what temps will be in the park, probably colder. It has been warm here in Missoula. We haven't been to Glacier in almost a year, too long. We are looking foreward to getting away and doing some hiking in the mountains. We will take our bikes, too.

Finalmente Toralf lo hace. Salió de  la oficina por la ultima vez viernes el 26 de agosto. Me gusta la palabra jubilado. Parece como júbilo. Ojalá que éste nuevo parte de nuestro vida es un tiempo de júbilo.

En realidad regresamos a la oficina el lunes para una fiesta de despedida. Miercoles vamos a Glacier Parque Nacional para acampar por 6 días. No tengo ningun idea de las temperaturas allá, probablemente más frio. Ha estado un poquito caliente en Missoula. No hemos estado en Glacier por casi un año, demasiado tiempo. Va a estar bien andor por las montañas de nuevo. Tendremos nuestros bicis tambien.

  1. Hope you get to do a lot of the things you enjoy so much! Lucky you! It is supposed to be 111 degrees here today. We have been under a severe heat warning for 2 weeks now. I'm ready for cooler!
