It was another pretty busy week. The good thing is I can take a break at anytime. Plus I'll never be late! I went golfing with my brother and nephew this week. The one day we made plans for it was the best day of the week as far as weather goes. I did get a little sunburned, I'll have to remember sunscreen next time. Also was my grandson's birthday. He turned 16. Yes 16! Where does all the time go? Next month his sister will be 20. Time sure blows on by like a flash. It was a nice party for him and I'm really enjoying all the family time now that I'm retired. Here's a pic of the birthday boy....

Till next time...carry on...

Well I'm posting Monday instead of Sunday. It was a busy week for me. It's ironic but I'm busier now that I'm retired. Makes me wonder how I had time for a job lol. Last week I went to watch my grandson compete in his school track meets. It was pretty awesome. Then Sunday I went to a birthday party for my great niece and nephew. These are the good things about being retired. Being able to spend more time with family. I'm slowly getting things done around the house. Taking my time. So here's a pic from the track meet. Their team did pretty good but was out done by another school who seemed to have the quick silver. Plus on one event my grandson's team for sure would have had victory but the last baton was not passed in the right amount of time given. Still the whole meet was great. It was the first I could get to see since now I had no job to be anywhere but there.....

A full week has passed since I've retired from my job. I had a pretty busy week at my own pace. That's a good thing.  Yesterday I went golfing with my brother and his son. We all found the water hazards real easy lol. So today I've been looking at lots of pics taken over the years. A lot of old pics of my mom and dad and our family. And the pics of my love and our family through the years. So much time has passed. Looking at these pics made me realize how little time we really have in our lives. We don't think about that from day to day. And a lot of sadness for me today also. Thinking about all those special memories of my loved ones. This week I took a couple of pics from my backyard where my mom had one of her flower gardens. I'm not great at yard and flower arrangement so it's kinda out of control. I posted a pic from this before from a long time ago. She had a pretty statue in it and sometime this Winter it fell over. So my neighbors repositioned it to stand and keep a watchful eye on the garden. I was thinking it would be good for a pic of the garden today for this special Sunday. Happy Mother's Day!

It's now official. As of Friday I am retired. It hasn't quite sunk in yet, this being a weekend but Monday I'm sure it will when I wake and realize I don't have to head off to work. It's kind of bitter sweet in many ways. Yet I'm comfortable I've made the right decision to retire. I'll still be busy, lots of unfinished business here at home. Yesterday I met my stepdaughter and her husband for dinner to celebrate my retirement. That was so nice. Soon they will be taking a vacation to Florida once again. I think this is the third time they have escaped here for the beach and fun. Till next time..a blast from the past...
