Wayne surprised me the other day while we were taking a walk (walks are great conversation opportunities as there are no computers, books, or grandbabies vying for the husband's attention). Every once in a while Wayne still surprises me; still waters and all that.
Retirement is in the offing, getting closer each year (tomorrow, for me, if I can convince Wayne). I guess having Perfect Patty start the retirement trend makes it more of a reality.
Anyway, Wayne was talking about becoming a Certified Financial Planner. Wow, where'd that come from? Guess he's been thinking about what he'll do to keep busy once he quits teaching. So he's been looking into coursework requirements etc. The biggest obstacle for Wayne is having to work for 3 years in an office that would require a tie and maybe even a suit coat!!! After 3 years he would be certified and then he could work out of home as long, as he could build some clientelle. I can guarantee ya there would be no tie wearing then!
I think Wayne is onto a good idea. He loves all that financial stuff (gag me) which is great for our finances. He spends hours (voluntarily!) reading every book about financial planning. So I think he should bite the bullet and start taking the courses online.
Now all of this thinking about the future got me to thinking about my next career...... I'm thinking I'll become a spy for the good old USA. You have to agree that I'm probably not their norm when choosing spies, but then again, that's the beauty of it. No one would suspect me (see image). I could become a sleeper for freedom!!!
Reclining on a beach in the south of France, I could pick up crucial information! You know that where the beautiful people are--there is intrigue! No one would even take notice of me---just another tubby little grandma sitting on the beach in a straw hat with a margarita on the side. I, of course, would have all the latest technology hidden in the folds of my body -- ready to relay the one tip that the powers that be were desperately seeking.
I might even come to the attention of Federal Agent Jack Bauer!

Wow! That is a very exciting turn of events for Wayne. You two are rich! I knew it. Wayne has been hoarding money in secret accounts no one knows about and you two will retire ..... I can't think of anywhere.... but somewhere lovely I am sure.
I would have Wayne be my investor but I think you have to have money to invest. AAAA I'll start saving when Wayne has to wear a tie.
As for you spy girl. Let me tell you the Green family is rich in fantasy and picturing it in our heads. You are about as much a spy as I am a super model. We can all dream baby.
Stay cool you spy you!
