Health issues forced me into retirement about 14 years ago. That Dr telling me don't go to work, don't look for work, you are retired was like getting punched in the gut. I was 48. The first 6 months were horrible. I was bored to death. Then I picked up on things I've always wanted to do. Started messing with model trains. And doing grandpa's daycare. I do get to run tractors again. Picked up a couple of old tractors and a dozer. Then put in a few head of beef. That changed everything. Now I had to make hay and feed critters. Plus I got to do grandpa's daycare. When watching grandkids got in the way of putting up hay before expected rain it got me to thinking. What was I doing? I was being stupid! That was on a Thursday, Monday the cows were at the sale barn. For some of us retiring isn't easy. Can't just sit back and do nothing.
Wife will retire after the new year. We are buying a motor home. Nothing huge or fancy, don't plan on being gone more than a couple of weeks at a time. Going to take in some tractor shows I want to see. Few of the really big model train shows too. Wife wants to see the big hole in the ground.....I think they call it the Grand Canyon and Mt Rushmore. Thing is you have to make sure you find things to do.
As far as our legacy? We ain't famous. Unlike some politicians or war heroes no one is remembered for long. All famous actors in Hollywood? They ain't squat. Once they die only their fans will remember them. Once the fans are dead? Who will care? Same thing with us. Once our kids/grandkids/great grandkids are gone no one will remember us nor care.
