Not much to tell. After working for 3 companies over 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I had waited my entire career for……retirement.
I have been exploring this new career for the past 7+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wants has been very fulfilling. Early on, there was a long list of projects in my “to-do” hopper and I attacked these projects with a vengeance for the first 9 months of retirement. Eventually, my brain told me that this was not what retirement was about, so it took me another 5 months before my industriousness again took over and I attacked another line of projects, this time somewhat shorter and less complicated, as well as many new projects related to the family weddings in 2016. After going hard for 6 weeks and 3 weddings, my body was telling me to relax, then the flu bug hit and as soon as that was done with me, my sciatic acted up. No rest for the wicked. In 2020 and 2021, the Covid 19 pandemic changed the whole retirement gig. I was lucky to not be still working, for sure.
I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may never become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

What a melancholy song despite the cheery music and melody. I gave (a version of )it a listen on Spotify. Let’s hope we don’t have to do more than recall that song.
It seems the walk in the woods was a bit more positive than the song, though. That is a good thing.
I had forgotten it was a bit melancholy. It does take me back to my youth, which was at times melancholy. The walk was far from that. Thanks for reading Scott. Allan
It can be hard to get out the door earlier/ adjust your usual routine, but it always seems worth it when you do. Love the picture of Patty, that’s really cool!

Can’t say I recall the song but the photos are awesome. The light was definitely with you and so many flowers.

The song obviously made an impression on me, just like the lovely morning scenes we saw. Thanks for reading Bernie. Allan

Agreed. Often, we will skip coffee and have it when we get back. Makes it easier when there is no washroom around. Thanks for reading Lyssy. Allan

I can do that, but Jon malfunctions in the morning until he’s had coffee 🙂

I’m a bit out of sorts as well. But the 10:30 coffee resets me. ☕☕
