My Goodness!

 I have been so busy living my life, I have totally forgotten to write about it! So what are you actually doing with your time, you might ask? You could be bored by it but I think I will actually try to tell you how the ordinary parts of my day usually go. 

I wake up at 6:00 a.m. and sometimes I wish I could roll over and go back to sleep! However, Renie and I have an agreement that we walk a couple of miles every morning starting at 7:00. We also agree that the days that we walk seem to go much easier than the days we don't walk. We do have a few rules; no walking if the temperature is less than 50 degrees and no walking in the rain. We have a route walking in the "North 40" then going to Winter Ranch, our sister park, then returning to the southern or front portion of Trophy Gardens. We return home at about 8:00.

Before I head out, I get the coffee going, get on my computer, and glance at a few things that are part of my daily computer things. It does wait till I get back before I get down and serious about, reading emails, working the puzzles, putting together trivia questions, researching things that come up in casual conversation, making appointments etc.

I play pool on Monday and Tuesday afternoons, Wednesday Butch plays pool so I do things like cleaning, laundry, cooking, and menu planning. Thursday and Saturday are our only "free" days for massage, dermatologist, doctor, appointment and other odds and ends. Butch plays pool again on Fridays and at other times he can work it in. 

Everyday "Happy Hour" is scheduled at our next-door neighbors Sandi and Bill Danielson from 4:00 - 5:00 pm. We hate to miss it! We meet so many new people in the park. There is a rotation of people and the conversation is often lively and informative. It is not a gossip session. I wouldn't be there if it were. We seem to get onto a subject and it just takes off. The other day we started talking about the oddball stuff we have done in our lives. For example, Carol shared with us that she was a farmer and once had to do an emergency caesarian section on a cow. When the vet got there he stitched her up...the cow that is!

I forgot! Trivia is every Tuesday night in the main hall at 6:30 PM. We have 3 to 5 teams. More than one person has told me how much they enjoy it and vow to never miss it. I still enjoy it very much.

I try to work in some hobby stuff but it does get crowded on my todo list. January and February here can actually get hectic. I work very hard at not getting into that trap. March is when people start heading North and things start slowing down.

I am sure I left things out. The devil is in the details they say...usually in a different context but Hey!
