A Homebody

Guess I am settling into retirement. My wandering lately is to the store and that not very often. Mowing the lawn is the exercise of choice. Summer is almost here, we had a few days of it this week. Maybe the grass will turn brown soon so that I can find another form of exercise.

Still haven't told many people of my retirement. I am enjoying the peace and quiet and non rushing about. I do have to do laundry more often now that I am in civilian clothes almost every day. I will admit to some days where I didn't even bother to get dressed. Seems I was more exhausted from my work schedule than I realized.

I did go play with my grandson the other day. We had a delightful time. He has discovered posing for the camera and that grandma has a digital camera. So the action is 'pose' then run over to grandma 'can I see'. Hard to believe he is going to be four soon.



The birthday season is upon my family. We have lots of happenings in June. I will probably be wandering again - at least as far as my eldest son's house.

And Away We Go

Time has really flown by. Retirement came and is being enjoyed. A trip to Hawaii resulted in a wonderful time and many photos. Now to see what else life has to offer.

Spring sprung while I was away as well. I almost missed my lilacs blooming. The grass keeps growing and the cherry tree is reaching the sky. Time to have fun.

Redoubt Does It's Thing

After watching the Redoubt cam along with following the Alaska Volcano Observatory, Redoubt is busy throwing stuff into the air. The latest just a few minutes ago. And I was watching the webcorder at the time. So interesting and so nice that lives are not really in danger for this one.

All of the other eruptions were during times I was either asleep or at work.

The other big news of the day, unreported by the world - I am retiring after next week. Five more clean uniforms, one more inventory, one more meeting, one more conference call.

Tonight is Earth Hour. Lights out around the world from 830pm to 930pm local time. I shall do my part. I will be in bed fast asleep long before then though I would like to take some photos. They are even going to turn out the Space Needle.

Redoubt seems to have gone back to resting for the moment and I believe I shall do the same. Lights out.
