I'm at a small insurance agency in Johnston - for 32 years - but it's only temporary until I decide what I wanna do with my life - oh wait, I think I've FINALLY decided - I WANNA RETIRE |

I design and develop web sites and videos. Retire?? I think I heard the word before, but I'm not sure what it means. The word "vacation" is another real stumper. I suppose what I do for a living is trying to make people happy. It doesn't always pay well, but the benefits are priceless! http://www.pagesintime.com web site design & development |

I am retired from the U.S. Postal Service. My job now is babysitting our grandaughter Arianna a couple of days a week - now our next is due on Christmas Day! Ain't life good? My wife Cookie and I have been blessed beyond comprehension, I hope I never lose sight of that. Take care, all my fellow classmates! |

I am a computer programmer...not quite sure how I became one since I started out as a hairdresser after high school. That wasn't mentally challenging enough so I got a job at Blue Cross & Blue Shield of RI. I attened Bryant College while working there and now here I am...a programmer with many years experience (too many years!) |

started out working at Blue Cross of RI, was a stay at home Mom for a short time, then went to hairdressing school nights, worked at it for over 35 years to finally have my own Salon, while subbing as a Teacher's Assistant and when Bob got sick, I got hired permanently in NP School System, so there went my hairdressing career. I, also, am the President of Douglas Landscaping, Inc. which we've had for some 35 years..Vacations - -a must - - -grandchildren --2 boys - -priceless- - -retirement - -not going to happen!! |

That's a very good question! My husband Marc and I are Realtors with Century 21 Sunbelt Realty. I don't devote as much time to that as I do to Art. I paint and exhibit in the SW Florida Area. When we lived in RI, I opened a floral shop, named TWIGS. It became a family business. Guess who was our reluctant floral delivery guy? When my Dad retired from school teaching he and my Mom immediately started delivering Meals On Wheels. He was always tap dancing for the old ladies. Such a charmer! We stole him away and the rest, as they say, is history. He loved meeting new people and bringing a little joy to someone whether through a meal or a bundle of flowers. Of course he always finished up with his tap dancing Curley Shuffle. Such a cornball, we loved him! We moved to Naples, Florida and I managed a floral dept for The Registry Resort. Stayed there til 9/11 happened, people where not flying and certainly not staying in high-rise hotels. Hotel Mgmt became too stressful and I decided I wanted to study Faux Painting and Mural Design. Somewhere in the middle I managed to get my realtors license. My true love is painting. http://www.anniesdesugns.net art |
