Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog

Things I Feel We Should Do
         Y'know, a big complaint I heard a bit when I was still working, is that I was gone all the time.  I was never home for certain activities.  Now I am, and we're still not doing them, nor going anywhere.  Here's what I'd love to do, IF we can just plan on doing it.  She's fine if we have a plan.  No plan?  Then it's okay to sleep in, something I've never done much of.  I do sleep until 6 now.  *Smile*  So, things I'd like to do, or places to go.


         1.  Crater Of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas.  https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/parks/crater-diamonds-state-park  I think this would be a fun outing for us.  I'd plan on at least 3, if not 4 days for it.  Why so many days?  It's almost a 10 hour drive to get there from my house.  So a day to get there, a day to go home.  We might stay in Little Rock (a 2 hour drive from there, so that would cut down our drive time to/from home.  We'll see.

         2.  Go tubing on the Current River in Missouri. 


There are a lot of things I'd love to get out and do, but I want her with me!  Right now, it looks like I'll be going to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta alone.  *Frown* There are valid reasons why, it doesn't stop me from wanting Kathy to experience it with me.  There is one nice thing about this though. I will most likely take Amtrak there.  It will be nice to see home again.  Yeah, home.  I'/ve lived in Illinois 30 years now, but New Mexico is still home, and always will be.


         I'm not complaining, we have the rest of our lives to do things huh.  We're hampered by physical limitations on both of us, and for me, a lack of energy.  I guess we need to up our game, huh.
