I talked with my brother Pat this afternoon and he indicated that the old blog was a little flat. Well yea. What does one think is going to be written about when you are retired? My life evolves around the care of two houses and surviving the paying of two mortgages and doing yard work on both houses. If I didn't have my novels to read, I would likely be in the nut house.
Suffice to say we went up to the weekend retreat in MV where I did what, cut grass and finished with the pare tree, and read. We were going to see a movie, but the little lady had a tough time getting it going and the movie started at 10:30. It is a $5.00 showing, which is pretty good.
So we did some shopping. Brandi bought a new light jacket and looked for a sweater. She found the one she wants at Christopher Banks, but needed to print out a coupon that will save her some money. We also went to the library where she picked up a new novel by Earl Emerson (a Seattle author and real fireman). I picked up another Nelson De Mille novel (Word of Honor).
I guess the big news is a neighbor, Stephanie and Tim, let us borrow a 19 inch TV. Now we don't have cable hooked up, but we do have over 300 DVDs to look at. Last night we watched the second Pirates of the Caribbean. We wanted to see the scene where the guys fall into the river. We saw it and we have in fact swam in that very river on one of cruises. That was cool. Actually the river was really cold.
So, for me that was the weekend. Now we got home and I found a 5 inch rat dead inside the garage door and a dead bird in the dinning room. Does anyone want two cats? Yikes!!!!
Well, that is it for this time. Maybe something exciting next time.
