Getting Ready to Live the RV Retirement Dream
September 10, 2021 Today is National Stand Up to Cancer Day, sponsored by the organization, Stand Up to Cancer. Bruce was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at the age of 41. It took his doctors over six months to diagnose him, as they just didn’t believe someone that young would have colon cancer. Since […]
Read More National Stand Up to Cancer DayMay 25, 2021 I had hoped to turn in my two weeks notice yesterday for my retirement. Since our house hasn’t sold, my retirement is delayed. I will work until the house sells. I am glad I told my boss that I will work until June 4th or until the house sells, which ever is […]
Read More Retirement RV Dream DelayedFebruary 19, 2021 I meant to post yesterday when my counter was showing 100 days left until my retirement date. I got distracted by Nox’s pitiful behavior yesterday after having her teeth cleaned and didn’t get a screen shot showing the 100 day count down.
Read More 99 Days Left before RetirementFebruary 1, 2021 Yesterday, Bruce and I went and got our second shingles vaccination shot. It stung a little when I got the shot and now the area hurts like a painful bruise.

Read More Second Shingles Vaccination, OuchJanuary 1, 2021 It feels strange to write 2021. Parts of 2020 dripped by slowly and parts rushed by leaving me wondering what happened.

Bruce and I flew to Jacksonville, FL and drove to Jekyll Island, GA to be with his family on Delta. We were also able to attend his mother’s visitation and funeral. My mother-in-law loved the outdoors and […]
Read More Good-bye to my Mother-in-LawNovember 19, 2020 The last couple of weeks have been very hard on Bruce and me. Bruce’s mother had shoulder surgery on October 29th. She had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and she was very confused as to what was happening. She was also in a lot of pain. By November 6th, she was […]
Read More Very Sad Times for UsNovember 13, 2020 When I was in elementary school (grades 1-6 in the US) and junior high school (7-8 in the US), I was very interested in foreign places. I read everything I could about various places. When I was in 6th grade, I signed up for a program for foreign pen pals. It was […]
Read More From All Over!October 12, 2020 I recently received a notice from WordPress that I signed up a year ago. I checked to see how many posts I published in that year and the number was 207 posts. That was way more post than I expected! I have really enjoyed blogging this year and following so many of […]
Read More One Year WordPress Anniversary!September 18, 2020 Bruce got his blood work results yesterday and found out that he had chickenpox as a child. He didn’t remember having chickenpox and his parents weren’t sure if he had them. Since he had chickenpox, he can get shingles. After seeing the problems I’ve had from shingles, he wants to avoid them. […]
