First Month of Retirement

Gary's turn to blog - We haven't put up a post in quite a while so we thought an update would be good although nothing particularly exciting has happened.  We arrived home from our vacation on Jan. 22.  We had a really great time on the vacation and it whetted our appetite for more trips.  After we got home and sorted through the big pile of mail we are getting on with our routine.  The big thing we have found is that daily planning is required in order to get things done each day.  It's so easy to sit back and read or surf.  We are now on our third visit to Western Mass. since we got back from Florida.  My sister Elaine is here from Alaska and we wanted to spend some time with her.  We are slowly getting things done around the house and have started planning our next trips.  We have two grandchildren (Matt/Angie in March and Spencer/Elizabeth in May) arriving in the next few months so we will be going to visit them of course.  That is about it for now.  We need to get pictures posted from the rest of our Florida trip.
