Hi Annet.
That sounds like a great set up.  You still have children at home,

When you get to be a Grandma like a lot of us, the days will come 
along where you can read or do what you want all day. I know, you 
can't imagine it. I didn't think that day would come for me. But now 
there days I am glad I have a friend ina book. lol
