KICK START MY LIFE

I really miss the discipline of a formal job. I have been retired now 4 months. I thought with all the free time that I would accomplish a lot more on the home front.

COME ON IN - THE WATER IS FINE

It generally contains information on repairs, painting projects, and what I wait for, when the pool will open. This year it is scheduled to open in two weeks. I’m so excited. We have all just hibernated from... Sign in to see full entry.

Well you could of blown me over like a Kansas tornado. I now see the importance of a “About me Page”. I’ve been emailing and commenting with a fellow Blogger. Things had progressed nicely and we were becoming good friends. Then the email that took all the wind out of my sails. This female blogger... Sign in to see full entry.

I finished my Federal and State Incomes Taxes this weekend. Just a reminder to those who are procrastinating, you have 5 days left to file. I get a small refund from Uncle Sam, but owe the State of Kansas $26.00. I was thinking of an idea much like United Way handles the distribution of funds.... Sign in to see full entry.

Retirement

This month I reached another of life’s milestones. We remember our first day of school. That strange feeling of being dragged hand and hand by your mother.

I’m at the mercy of the repair dude. We all know this guy. The one who said he would call you first thing in the morning to update you on his arrival. It is now high noon and I have not heard from my plumbing savior. My JOHN is leaking. The shutoff valve just spins in my hand. If I do not empty the... Sign in to see full entry.
