hmm. I guess I am unforgivably slow at this blog thing. I just don’t seem to get to the computer for anything besides email, computer games (not angry birds), and checking on my websites which I am thinking of consolidating to one low cost site. The rest of the time seems to be spent socializing, book clubs, reading, watching movies, and doing little cleaning and lots of cooking.And breaking bones, so far one leg and one wrist which I broken in September and still is not completely better.
But now we are in 2012 and after three and a half years of retirement it is time to make good on all the resolutions I made when I retired. I truly have to eat healthier, lose weight, exercise more as my body allows, and start writing again. I should have had the world’s best novel done by now, so this is the year (or at least a collection of short stories). also, be better at blogging, keeping in touch with friends, keeping in touch with my grandchildren who are all far away.
One of the highlights of last summer was when my grandchildren Ashley (18) and Elvis (15) came out from Reno and spent a week with me. We had a great time going swimming, fishing, out to see the dam which was releasing a torrent because of the Missouri River flooding, to a movie (kid’s choice – RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES – and going to Nebraska to visit their great -great aunt. I have really missed them since they moved from here when Elvis was 2. They say they are going to make this an annual visit which would be great.
So mark this day. I will try to report back here more often and let the world know how things are going on this front.
hmm. the years flash by
