Retired life

It's been 3 months since I'm retired. So far I haven't missed going to work at all. I've been busy most of the time. the first month was spent having cofees, and lunches with friends celebrating my birthday and retirement. June was basically taken up with Barb and Pete's wedding reception preparations. The beginning of July was the reception and after that it's been having friends over and going out with family and friends. Last weekend Sonya and Gary and the girls were down. We went to the ocean at Centennial Beach which was so fun. It is not as busy as white rock and lots of sand. i brought home lots of sand dollars which George is going to make into a windchime for me. Sunday I went with the gang to Agrifair. Hot and fun. Nice running into relatives and friends. We met Susand, Mark, Andrea and kids and also our friends Frank and Barb. this week George has picked apples of our tree twice and got them ready for the freezer. I froze some blueberries given to me by Pete and Barb. thanks guys. Tomorrow Barb and I are going to a memorial service for one of Barb's former clients. George and I are starting to plan our road trip across the praires in about 4 weeks. We plan to go all the way to Winnipeg stopping along the way. We have no idea how short or long this will be. Nice not to be on a schedule.I went for a much needed hair trim this morning. i'm sitting here with the blinds open listening to the jets getting ready for tomorrow's airshow. Well I guesss I'll go and see what Dr. Phil has to say today. A good week to all who read this blog.
