Time floats on by

Didn't realize it had been a few days since my last post, obviously we are in the "retirement" mode....  but that doesn't mean lots of things aren't happening.

Lets see-  this has been a bad week for illnesses, passings of friends, and such..
tomorrow, a large group of us will be up in Jacksonville for the services of liar's club member Gordon who passed last week.  Our neighbor has been very much under the weather and is at the hospital as we speak, and I will be going to pick him up shortly... our pal Kippy has a bad crud disease that she picked up while on the road home from Ohio, Sheriff Foster's dad passed away, and some other friends are under the weather..  On the good side, I was able to actually speak to my brother Dan for the first time in about 4 months, and he is home from the hospital recuperating at my brother Bills house in Atlanta. 

We've been planning the Thanksgiving trip with Cooper and Tina, looks like we'll be heading on down to Miami on the train for 4 nights... looking forward to that. 

We're also looking into adding Tuscon Ariz on the Feb/March trip, so we can throw in a visit with Jerry and Judy and the Strissels in addition to heading out to California to see mom...

We are waiting on Major League Baseball to release the spring schedule for Grapefruit League Baseball, so we can plan that trip... 

Bette and I got a A on our report cards from the semi-annual Doctors visits this week, I have a follow up cardiologist visit Thursday, may do a stress test, since I haven't had one in almost 2 years, but all my numbers were rediculously low... 

Friday the car goes in for service, and the Colagiovannis return back again from a funeral trip to Mass. this week also...  So dinner for them Thursday, I believe.

Hopefully the Kingstons will be back on their feet soon, so we can do our pilgrimages to the Golden Lion again soon. 

Life moves on apace....  Bette is stupid busy in the garage shop doing crafts for the craft show...  and the weather remains perfect, except for today we are supposed to get drenched this afternoon....
