JUST A RELAXING, DO NOTHING DAY  We are still in Buffalo, WY, where we spent the day resting and getting ready to move north. Dick and Carolyn invited us to a picnic in the Big Horns, but we decided to spend the day quietly. We are both finally starting to realize what real retirement is like. Life is pretty simple right now in our little cocoon of the world. We get up when we feel like it (with dark shades in the bedroom we tend to sleep later), have a little breakfast, read, walk, clean-up, eat a little lunch, maybe take a nap, read some more or maybe tie some flies, listen to music, have supper, relax, visit with other RVers, compare notes/travels, and then go to bed when we feel like it. We’ve discovered that it takes us about 5 minutes to clean the RV in a joint effort. We have really enjoyed the dry weather–no humidity–and the gentle breezes. Temperatures in the 80’s are really great under those conditions and then it drops to temps in the 50s/60s at night.

NEWS FROM HOME  Oh, yes, we got word that Kay’s daughter, Karyn, got engaged this past week to John Matthew Adams. They are planning a June wedding on the beach in the Bahamas in 2008. Also, Kaden Higgins, our grandson is starting his first day of middle school tomorrow in Benton, AR. Boy, time really is flying by.
