A Walk in the Rain

I had most of the day on my own Wednesday, since Angie had to work.  She gave me directions to a good place to walk so that was the plan.  It was pretty wet, but not raining when I woke up, so I headed out after breakfast. Of course, it started to rain within a… Continue reading A Walk in the Rain

Spring Flowers

This will be my last spring in this home – so I will be getting as many pictures as possible to show them off.  I will be pretty busy the next few weeks with packing and getting ready to move, but hopefully I’ll continue to get pictures. I have planted many of these bushes, trees… Continue reading Spring Flowers

This isn’t really a ride – but my first house for sale story.  I told you earlier that I had found an apartment for Chester and I to move to and that the next step was selling the house.

I Failed

After years of convincing people that I am perfect, it is hard to admit that I made a mistake and that I failed at something.  If you remember, I retired in the spring this year.  That is what I failed.  One of the employees at the Y suggested that I should be looking to see… Continue reading I Failed

Things

Things are not moving as smoothly lately as they have been, but I am sure everything will be on track again soon.  The main problem is my job, which unfortunately I need to survive.  One of my supervisors decided to remove me from one of my clients without any particular reason, except that he could. … Continue reading Things
