Another step closer

We reached an important milestone last evening.  John was able to set up his retirement appointment with the US Postal Service.  So, what does that mean?  A booklet with all his options has been mailed.   Upon review he can call in and make all the selections (our financial planner will also give us some advice).  This  call can be made 90 days or less before retirement. That date is approaching very quickly.

John set his last day of work
November 26, 2010

Celebrate!

We also applied online as a volunteer this winter to several locations in Florida.   One of the National Parks (Fort Pickens) sent us more forms to fill out  The letter stated our application was being considered.  There was a lot of paper work to fill out but we finished up everything and sent it out today.  It would be a wonderful location and we would gladly accept the position, if offered.  We will keep you posted.
