Keeping Busy Retired





































Well, I retired 12/31/09. We left for three weeks in Florida on the 4th of January. It was cold but warmed up before we had to come back. We took our Airstream and stayed in a campground two weeks and in our timeshare on Ormand Beach one week. Keith's brother, Tom, and his wife and sister-in-law were in Daytona Beach and we got together several times. We went to Spring Garden Ranch (horse ranch) for breakfast at their restraunt. Keith & Tom went to an antique tractor show one day. That's why we took the gator with us. It is a really big show. Keith did some fishing at the campground. Not too much luck as the water was too cold. We also went to Travares and visited Wayne and Ginny Wilson in the home they purchased there. I will post some pictures. We stopped at Kevin & Sarah's on the way back for a couple hours but were anxious to get home. There's no place like home Auntie Em! So I just completed my first real week retired at home. Kept busy cleaning closets and cupboards. Just love being home. Did a little shopping and out to eat with my cousin on Monday. Had basketball games Monday and Tuesday - one was Kraig and the other Casey. It was good to get back to see Kurt's family too. Missed all the kids. Keith had five auctions last week so he kept busy. Now when I get caught up on things I need to do, I am going to scrapbook to my heart's content.

Late Christmas & Bald Eagle


























































































Thursday, December 31st, Keith came home from town and said "grab some binoculars and come on!" So I did. We got in the car and went down the road just a little ways. Out in the field on the other side of the road from our house, was a bald eagle eating something it had killed. It was magestic. You don't expect to see one that close to your home in Ohio...but it was great!! Didn't have my camera...can you believe it?



Libby was better and so Kevin & Sarah came up Thursday and we had Christmas with Kurt's family, Kevin's family and our moms on Friday, New Years Day. Kevin's went home Saturday afternoon. Kurt's were over to visit today, Sunday. I love being with my family!! I will post a few pictures.
