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.

Family Day and Mild Temperature.

Our Location today is Windsor, Ontario.

After spending most of Saturday Night in Bed, I was certain that my sleep routine was finally heading in the right direction but last night proved me wrong. I managed to spend more than Two/Thirds of the night in my Recliner, and it was not all sleeping. Still being tired this morning, led to sleeping later than I thought we would.

The moment I left the Bedroom, Kathy immediately joined me in the Livingroom. The Sun was shining past the Blinds, making everything glow with a brightness that was inviting, but in the distance, there was Fog hanging over the horizon.

We enjoyed Breakfast Snack Bars, Breakfast Juice to take our morning medications with and Yogurt Cups to start our day. With our Coffees at the Computers we managed to finish our Blog Reading before stopping for a late lunch of Chicken Noodle Soup. When we are not as active, we do not need to eat as much but are still comfortable.

I mentioned the other day how in parts of Canada, a new holiday had been created called Family Day. It gives students especially, a holiday between the Christmas Holidays and the March Break. That was today and it seemed that every time we looked down at the Ganatchio Trail, we saw Families enjoying this beautiful weather together. With Plans to go out for supper and to get some groceries, I totally forgot about that and kept telling Kathy I wanted to wait until the School Buses were off the road.

The temperature reached 50 F (10 C), so we were very comfortable wearing only Jackets when we went out. We went to the nearby Mary Brown’s chicken location to take advantage of their Monday Special. As we were leaving there, we noticed that all the stores in the Plaza were closed. The only businesses that were open were food related, Fast Food, Delis, Bakeries and Restaurants.

Instead of going for groceries, we headed home to watch the “6 o’clock Local News”. The forecast has changed and we can expect Rain with mild temperatures for the next few days, before we start seeing mixed precipitation for the remainder of the week.

As soon as the News was over, we watched the movie “It’s Complicatedwith Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. It was released the year that I first retired, but we had never seen it. It was funny, but we are certain that something like that has happened many times in real life.

We will be busy tomorrow but still have enough food to last until the weekend.
