Cindy has left her job.

Briefly, Cindy has retired a year earlier than she had anticipated being able to.  It was pretty sudden, and we are still processing it, but it is an accomplished fact.

Also, we are headed for Yellowstone in caravan with Phil & Ann R. (_Andy_), Dick & Dorothy S. (Bigfoot), Dick & Evalyn L. (Forest River), and Henry & Miriam S. (rented 27' something MH).  We hope to see Charless & Marjorie F., who live near part of our itinerary, and Larry & Cheri C. (Lance), who will be passing by on their way home from the Canadian Maritimes.  We will be in our very new-ish hard-side travel trailer, the Casita Liberty _Arcadia_, for our second big trip since acquiring it only seven months ago.

Our original plan was to do the trip (roughly three weeks), then head home so she could resume her duties as principal.  Now she doesn't have to consider that when considering when to end the trip.

We expect to post pictures to our two Picasa albums.

In other news, reliable cellular coverage has finally filled in at our house; we have abandoned our household LL telephone in favor of our two cellphones.  Those and our four wi-fi-based comms systems should permit us to remain in contact with the outside world during Retirement.

All excellent!
