Retirement Planning

The REAL count down to the end of school is underway. It actually started in January, and then I lost track, and have started over several times. I have never really counted days as my students and I always had things to do. But, RETIREMENT is coming!!
One of the things I am thinking about doing (when school is not my priority) is creating jewelry. I asked Sarah to send me a picture of her necklace that I made for her wedding as I couldn't remember the details of it. I'm going through my huge Fire Mountain catalog looking for my favorites--Swarovski crystals and their pearls. The Swarovski pearls have crystal cores and are beautiful and affordable.

Other plans include the GARDEN. It's windy and getting warmer, but yesterday was a better day. Where was I? At school. So it's off to the yard for a little cleaning. :)
