Things are busy

I used to worry that when I retired there wouldn’t be anything to do. All my retired friends said that wasn’t so, but it was hard to imagine. THEY WERE RIGHT.

We have been busy doing “things”… the stuff that life retired is made up of. Today we stayed home for breakfast… and had cold cereal… which I really was hungry for. Then B read the paper and I puttered around – a load of laundry, some general cleaning, put the dishes away from the dishwasher. B was working outside and I went back to work on our storage stuff in the heater room where I have been working for the past two days. Today was concentrating on the freezer room where stuff needed to be moved, donated or used. I worked on that all day, on and off. Then lunch… where was B???? Visiting a friend so I ate and made him a sandwich. At 1:00 I was due at the health club, which we have set up here. Sheila, Dorothy and I were going to try out equipment so we were familiar…. And support was a good thing. No B… and Sheila stopped to pick me up (THANKS). We tried most of the equipment, had a bunch of giggles and after 90 minutes decided to pack it in. That’s going to be a really nice place to go to!!! Back home and as we drove up in the drive… there was B with the sling shot… WHY????? Well, looking around there was a dear eating our bushes!!! Woooo Woooo I yelled as I jumped out of the car. The poor deer…… off he/she ran. (I’d be scared, too) and my noise worked better than the sling shot!

Escarole soup and a cheese steak sandwich for dinner. Though I must say, the rolls here are NOT like what we are used to in Jersey!! There are some things we REALLY miss!!!

They are calling for snow in some areas… just a flurry or so. Don’t think we will be getting any; then warmer later this week.

About Me

After working for 40 years in education, I retired and with my husband moved to the "wilds" of PA. This blog is thoughts and pictures of what we are doing.
