June 1, 2011 was our last day of employment with the Mid-Prairie Community School District located in Wellman, Iowa. Vicky was a long time kindergarten teacher and loved her work with five and six year olds. Don was an elementary physical education teacher, the district's activities director, and the last year added as the district's transportation director. (Yea - what a schedule!!) Basketball will stay a part of our lives. After much thought and prayer we both decided to take advantage of the district's "early separation" policy and as of June 2 we are officially RETIRED!
Many people ask us "So how does it feel to be retired?" and "What are you going to do?" It feels GREAT to be retired. So far it feels like the usual summer vacation from school time, but......no kindergarten room to get prepped, no curriculum to develop, no softball/baseball rain outs to take care of, no transportation issues to deal with.................. (indicating on and on and on!) As to what are we planning to do. Well we LOVE to travel and will continue to do that and much more whenever we want to. We will have more time with our parents, children and four adorable grandsons!
