Eleanor here. I am the boss of this group and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. In keeping with my boss persona, I am aloof and when you try to get close, you had better be bringing me treats. If you try to pet me, I will let you know my feelings with a little grunt or a foot stomp. Every once in a while, I will surprise you and just let you pet me. Sure, I appear tough, but don’t let my actions fool you. I can be a real softy too.
Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

Thanks Aiva. We were glad to help out and these little ones are so entertaining with their different personalities. Both the Fur Kids and their Hoomins were appreciative. Can’t wait to start using those mugs. Allan
Very cute! I love that they each have their own little personalities. When I was in high school I had to do some community service hours (national honor society not felony related 😉 ) and one of the tasks was cleaning a whole bunch of rabbit cages like 20+ and I’m a little scarred for life from that.
They definitely are individual characters. Cage cleaning is seldom fun. When I was growing up on the farm, I got to clean out cow, horse and pig barns. Even less fun. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan
