This year, for the first time in at least a decade, I didn't make a single valentine! Everything conspired against me, not the least of which was a general lack of incentive! I did manage to make the annual chocolate-dipped espresso shortbread cookies for the grandchildren. Thankfully I had enough left-over valentines from previous years to go around for the family and hubby.
So, what have I been doing with all of my spare time? For the past year I've been working on a final interior design project before my retirement. Yes, I've tried retiring now for about six years, and keep being called back into service. But this really is the LAST PROFESSIONAL PROJECT! It's a small corporate office space that has been so much fun to work on - good budget and great client - and we're in the final stages of construction. So my attention has been primarily focused there for the past month, with daily calls from the jobsite to take a look at one thing or another for final approval. I've been telling all of the contractors and subs that this is my swansong and in an undertone the architect beside me keeps saying, "No it's not"! But it really is. Hubby is retiring at the end of this school year and we're planning to start doing some traveling.
