Retirement?

Possibly some very good news for the Powers Family. The school is going to offer a limited number of buyouts but only six system wide. Marcia is going to try to be one of the six. The buyout has to do with insurance which has been our big problem. If she is selected then she will be able to retire this year what great news. We have our fingers, legs, toes(well maybe not) and anything else crossed for luck hoping for the best. The bad part is we won't know for a month or more. She came home last night after the school board meeting and was trying not to get too excited because she knows she may not be one of the selected ones. The selection is by seniority so anyone with more time that requests it will be considered first. There are a lot of teachers with many years that are part of the baby boomer crowd so we are not sure how it will work out. Everyone keep good thoughts for Marcia.

The thought of retirement has made an otherwise dreary day not so bad. I did the grocery shopping this morning and it was raining the whole time but my truck needed a wash job. Just wish it would be enough to really clean it there was quite a bit of salt on it from my trip Monday. I ran into snow from about Elkhart to LaPorte and they were salting so the truck was pretty dirty.

I just wanted to share the info with everyone and we will let you know as soon as we know.
