Nuclear TM...will he glow???? Homer did!

 

 

What a long time since my last blog. As usual, nothing unusual happening worth writing about. We have had a busy summer with a little remodeling of our downstairs bath = UGH! I did what I could and TM worked after he got home from his job...weekends, too! It is almost done.

 

TM needs to have a torn meniscus repaired but needs to have a nuclear stress test done first. That is scheduled for October 27th - his 66th birthday...what a celebration. Hey, maybe TM will glow like Homer Simpson! Just kidding, honey.

 

Well, my usual summer of not working (teacher) has come and gone; now I am understanding I am indeed retired. I LOVE not getting up at 4:30 AM anymore!!!!! That is the best part so far. I am such a meanie, I enjoy sitting on our front porch drinking coffee and waving as the school bus goes by...lol! Do I miss being in the classroom? NOT!!!! :)

 

TM and I plan on being in FL with Jazzy December 15th. We are spending a few weeks at Cedar Key RV Resort as we like the rural aspect and being close to the Gulf. I am stoked for our first 'retired' winter! I really want to experience Quartzite at least one time; so we may sashay to AZ -- who knows! Safe travels to all.

 

Til we meet on the road, remember...

 

scatter kindness!

I can "slowly" get used to this retired lifestyle...

 

 

My it has been quite a while since I last posted. I've really had nothing too exciting to blog about BUT... Friday was my last day!!!!! Yippee --- I am retired now! However, retiring from teaching with the summer a usual 'downtime', I won't feel retired until mid-August  when school resumes.

 

TM retires in October, and we have reservations our first winter in Florida to be able to visit the grandkids. The following winter we plan to check out Arizona. I am excited just because!

 

I have been reading a lot of your blogs daily; I live the RV lifestyle vicariously through many. Thank you to those who blog daily or at least weekly. Yes, your posts are interesting and educational in so many ways.

 

I am going to go get my 89 year old mother tomorrow so she can stay with us for a while. She deserves a bit of spoiling, I think! I am glad to be able to spend the time with her; I feel blessed.

 

Welcome back, Mike and Pat! We missed you in Blogland!!!!!

 

Remember to scatter kindness!

 



Road Ahead

 

 

I am encouraged, as the time draws closer, that our road ahead will lead to more opportunities for both TM and I to have more peaceful minds!!

 

I have approximately 4 months 3 days to my retirement...YEAH! Of course, that depends on any snow days factored in. However, I am on the downhill run and IT FEELS GREAT!!!!!! TM is still adamant he is working up to his 66th birthday on October 27th. We shall see.

 

We are keeping our home for now. That is unless someone pulls in our drive and just has to have it...sure. As stated in the previous post -- just a tad up in the air with our plans. For one, as a retiree of a state pension in IL [scary enough already...politics - ugh!], my insurance would be higher for me anytime I reside, albeit temporarily, outside of IL by a bit over $200.00 a month. I am not complaining - just stating a fact for us to take into consideration. This is just one more 'thing' to add to our stew pot of planning.

 

TM and I are living through your blogs vicariously and enjoy all the helpful information you so willingly share. We know we can pull one of our bikes on a swivel wheel trailer as Rene and Jeanette do. OMG -- can I go back to riding behind TM again???? I would pull his ears off probably. I have been riding my Dyna in front of him and his Wide Glide way too many years, me thinks...hmmmmm!

 

Whether you are in AZ, CA, TX, NM, LA, GA, FL, or Mexico, we read your blogs as often as we can and can not wait to cross paths with you! What a life!!!!!!

 

Till next time....remember to Scatter Kindness!
