Hopefully. I just returned home after spending several days with my sister Julie and her husband Lee, at their home on Orchid Island, Florida. Sean enjoyed playing golf with Lee and raved about the course and its’ condition, as always. Julie and I visited the Vero Beach Museum, where there were several really interesting exhibits, and then frequented several of the local shops, purchasing in the Cook Store and the Book Store. Hmm, that certainly conjures up a picture of perfect retirement. Whip something good up in the kitchen and then curl up with a good book. In writing this I am also reminded that, while in the Book Store Julie picked up a retractable magnifying glass for reading the small magazine and newspaper print. Sean immediately became envious of the magnifying glass, so therefore I have that on my-to do list-today… stop at Barnes and Noble to pick one up. A new cooking utensil, a good book, a magnifying glass, and a great round of golf on a beautiful course…retirement…it doesn’t get any better than that. Well actually it does, the cooking utensil is used for the scones Julie made, and we ate… scones with chocolate chips and cranberries. To die for. Not really, at our age that is not a good phrase to use, as we all have too many more years of retirement to enjoy.
Absence makes the blog grow fonder…
