Frisco, CO July 2, 2012

My take on retirement. It has only been a few days and I could get used to this! We left the cool mountains for the hot desert. The Rav and Altima were fully loaded and practically doing wheelies down the highway. We arrived in St. George at 9:15 P.M. and it was a balmy 93 degrees. Of course it is a dry heat so I only lost 5 pounds in sweat unloading the vehicles. We spent the 4th of July staging all the stuff we brought so we could put it away. Our good friends Richard and Ruth brought us sandwiches for lunch from the local bakery, very yummy and much appreciated. We went over their house later for burgers, beer, and to catch up on things. The last few days we have been tying up some more loose ends in preparation for our trip. It Is really getting close. We seem to be staying up later because it does not get dark here until 10 o’clock. I even took a nap the other day in the afternoon, something I would never do in my working days. One thing for sure, after living the past year in the apartment, we are enjoying the peace and quiet in our new neighborhood. With that note it is time to get some sleep so good night to you all.
