Hi Edgar. Just to let you know I've been enjoying looking at all these photos.

You don't look 64, by the way. :wink:

I know. That's because I will be 65 in September.

Hello Edgar

I've been here for over an hour now -
And i hardly know what to say. i've never looked through anyone's family photographs before.
It's a strange experience - i just want to thank you and say what a
beautiful family you have.
I noticed that, like this last picture ( which has really touched me)
everyone is smiling when they're around you - even Baby.
You must be proud to have such a happy crowd to call your own

Congratulations Edgar

Peace
Endy

Hi, endy. I'm not showing up to date pics of family and friends too much, but for the occasional grandchild. Pics of myself are the exception. I thank you for your observations.

Awesome pics Edgar! I just love old pictures and could look at them forever. It almost seems that I somehow belonged in times when I wasn't even born yet. I always felt that way as far back as I can remember. Seems like I was there, for some odd reason.

Anyway, thank you very much for the smiles :-D

One of my daughters. She was so young walking, look at the size of the bottle in relation to her.

833. I think I am doing much better, thank you. You see, I acquired a new helper, an accomplished maintenance man,
whom we all have pegged to be my successor. He is a wonderful
man and a credit to the company. But, as soon as he started, I
suddenly began to feel weak and tired much of the time. Barely able
to perform my duties by afternoon. [...]

Edgar, what's the current date for your tentative retirement? It seems ever closer.

Is it written in cement? Can you go a bit earlier if you wanted?

I take my Social Security money in almost exactly a year. I think I will quit my job a month early to allow for some vacation time, before I start any new job.

My new helper wants me to ask for a part time job at the apartments. He says he won't mind doing most of the work. The owner of the property has asked me to stay on for another three years. A lot can happen in a year.

Ah, I see. There's no allowance for taking it earlier, I guess?

How are you feeling about doing your present job part time later?

One gets penalized for taking it earlier.

I don't want to keep on doing maintenance work, if it means keeping up the same pace, even 4 to 6 hours per day.
