For our Tea Party today, we are to choose our favorite time of day. After a lot of thinking, I didn't choose coffee in the quiet morning, on the porch with DH watching the birds, the RED Sox on TV, or enjoying a glass of wine in the late afternoon. I've been retired for 17 years, and every hour of the day is my favorite time!!! I'm so lucky!!!!!!!

I love the Pretty plaid on your card. The time piece is perfect for the challenge. Great card.
I am right there with you mdf! Being retired lets you enjoy every 'time of the day'. But my brain still wakes me at work time!!

Such a lovely card, Anne, with the plaid dp and time piece. Love the diagonal sentiment, too! I have been retired a while now and really do enjoy it, especially now that most of our friends have retired, too. My dear Dad never got to this stage in life so I certainly treasure each and every day~

I like how you think Anne! Enjoy every time of each day! I love the plaid bg for your clock but really...do you need a clock...you're retired, you're not living by the clock anymore!

I love your celebration of every hour of the day and the pretty plaid you used here.
I figured you would appreciate what a friend texted me last night . . . . it said in part, "We may have ongoing illnesses but it's a good day because we are still waking up on this side of the dirt!"

You are totally lucky! I hope to be following in your footsteps soon! Fun card, Anne. Love the idea of wine in late afternoon - that is almost as good as coffee in the early morning. Love the plaid. Hugz
