Guess what?

OK, I’ll tell you.

I’m retiring on June 30.

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?

Do you or don’t you?

black-fridayDo you take part in Black Friday shopping?

Do you do this voluntarily?

Or do you stay home and enjoy the day?

I don’t recall voluntarily shopping on Black Friday.  When I worked at a department store, I had to be there at 7:00 a.m. for the onslaught of shoppers.  Of course no one then would believe people would actually get up that early and go shopping. But they came in droves.  Now Black Friday begins at 12:01 a.m. the day after Thanksgiving and from what I’ve heard shopping takes a military strategist to plan the attack.

No thank you.  There is nothing I want that badly to risk life and limb.

So do you don your armor and shop-till-you-drop?
