It's about time.

Many of you can relate to Working long hours at your career. Raising your families. Buying a home and paying all the bills related to being homeowners and parents. We're now retired and don't need all that work and expense. Now "It's about time" and what we do to follow our dreams.

From One Extreme To Another.


Our Location today is at Windsor, Ontario.

The other night when we really could have used it neither of us could properly sleep. Even with a Snap in the afternoon Kathy could barely keep her eyes open at 11:00 when she headed off to bed. Around that time I had a bad headache that was from being overly tired. When I hit the sack by 11:44 without taking anything for it I wasn’t sure how well I’d sleep. Lets just say I worried for no reason. We both slept like a couple of rocks. It wasn’t until Kathy started getting out of bed that I came to. The last time I slept that long was after being put under Anaesthesia.

Breakfast was simply a Banana then we took our Coffee/Tea to the Computers. I also brought my Cell Phone with me because I had a special call to make. Having the numbers programmed into my Phone I wanted to wish my sister Anna a Happy Birthday but just like the last couple of times I tried to reach her it automatically went to a message that she was unavailable. I tried her Cell Phone and was able to leave a message.
Our morning Cloud Cover.
Since she only uses her Cell Phone for emergencies on the road I worried she would not get the message. In case I sent her an E-Mail just to be certain. Checking The Weather Network their Radar showed a Large Storm Front heading our way that would affect us by mid afternoon.
When it came time for lunch Kathy decided to make Pulled Pork from Lou’s Kitchen. When she went to get the Hamburger Buns and found only Three in the package decided to share them all by just spreading the meat a little thinner. She also served the last of the Nanaimo Bar along with a Yogurt Cup for our dessert.

Since it was a short morning we had more reading on the Computers to finish. I also double checked my E-Mail to find a response from Anna. Hope she continues to enjoy her day.

We turned the Television on around 5:00 where we got to see the end of the Funeral for Congressman John Lewis who fought along with Reverend Martin Luther King Jr for equality among all races back in the 1960s. Strange how in the last couple of years that progress is being pushed back and not just for those of colour but for anyone that doesn’t hold a Six Figure Job. Congressman John Lewis also fought to make voting easier by increasing the number of polling stations throughout the country that have suddenly been slashed by this administration. Another push back.

Watching the 6 o’clock Local News there was more talk about the Phase 2 Recovery from the Coronavirus in our area. They said other areas will have the children back in school in September but because of our delay in the recovery our children could see a delay in returning. We didn’t get any Storms today but we’ll be seeing cooler temperatures for a few days.
Supper at 7:30 was Macaroni and Cheese with an Apple for dessert. We watched a “Criminal Minds episode along with a “Law and Order episode. It has been a while. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  1. It's interesting, the cutback in voting stations. Our County (who shoulders the cost) cut WAY back the last couple of years because they had no money to pay for people required to work them and no one volunteered. I do hope kids get back to school soon or they will all end up adding a year trying to catch up. Some even more, because so many parents work and can't teach them at home. Sad for the kids.

  3. Happy Birthday Anna! In the case of Nevada it's our corrupt Governor wanting mail in ballots ONLY! Of course he's a democrat, holding special sessions to make this happen. Our grandson won't be starting school, online only at this point. He's a sophomore so not a big deal, but what about the kindergartners who really need a teacher? It's a sad state of affairs. :(

  5. Glad you both slept well. Suprisingly, even I went to bed early last night and managed to sleep soundly...something rare for me.

    Glad your sister Anna had a happy birthday.
