catching up

It's been quite a while since I wrote anything here so I thought I do some catching up.

Susan And I purchased a home in February. It's a 3 bedroom ranch on a half acre of land. It's very nice but is in need of some updating. It was build in 1959 and not much has changed since then. So we decided to gut the kitchen and the bathroom. We're putting in all new cabinets and tearing down a wall between the kitchen and living room. We already had a new roof put on and we're doing a lot of work in the yard. We hope to be moved in by August. We're both very excited.

We added a new member to our family last October when we got a Golden Retriever puppy. Her name is Zoey and she's a great dog. She has lots of energy which is good since it makes us take more walks. She is a true retriever too. She is constantly finding baseballs at the park that is near by. Al last count, she has 24 baseballs in her toy box.

I have come one step closer to true retirement. I retired 4 years ago but I have been working 2 days a week since then. As of the end of June, I will only go into work for special projects. I'm ready for that. Susan also retired this year so we both have time to work on the new house. We also want to travel more in the near future. There are so many places we want to visit!

More to come....
