USE YOUR STUFF Challenge #276 - New Beginnings

Kristin has asked us to create a project based on new beginnings - new home, new job, new baby.... 

I'm at the age where a lot of my friends have either retired or are going to retire soon.  I, myself, have been retired for a few years.  I highly recommend it!
