Guess what?
OK, I’ll tell you.
I’m retiring on June 30.
Screen shot of the countdown calendar that I took this morning while eating breakfast:
Yup, only 90 more days to go.
Mr. Aitch and I have discussed this change in our lives and have come up with a very lucrative business to give us more income in our Golden Years.
We are in the process of setting up a silk spinning company. Using spiders to spin webs that we will harvest and turn into very strong and beautiful yarn.
During my Spring cleaning, I discovered several places that are full of these beautiful silken threads. I didn’t want to stop the silk production so I left the spiders where they were and just took the webs.
Now to clean, card, and spin my findings into beautiful yarn. Any spinners out there who want to help?

I think this is a wonderful venture! No startup costs…. Slow production so as to insure quality control. Great idea!

I hear spiders are excellent workers, but be careful if they try to unionize.

great idea! Anything that makes it easier to retire is a good thing. I’ll pass on the cobwebs, though. However, if you need a supplemental supplier, just let me know.
