June 3rd

Quick update, at Kiser Lake which is nice because there are only 4 other campers here so we have it all too ourselves basically. Jess was pretty sore last night since the previous 2 days I took her walking with me in the morning and we did 2 miles Saturday and 3 miles Sunday along with her other walks. She was wiped out all evening. Also found 2 ticks so keeping a close eye on her when she comes back in from the walks, they show up pretty easy on her white legs

Temperature got down to 45º last night so the furnace was definitely required! Today is a bright sunny 50º right now and no rain expected till Wednesday. Had a little campfire last night but the cold front was blowing about 15 mph  which didn't make it all that enjoyable :)

Today some errands to run and we will see where it goes from there!

Retirement Day 1

So I finished my working career for a living on May 31st, 2019. My original intentions was to retire on Deanna's birthday but that extra 2 weeks of wages wreaked havoc on qualifying for Social Security so I backed it up to the end of May.  The day before the awesome company I worked for Fluid Quip Inc. had a cookout for me that was catered by a local BBQ business Rudy's. Quite the feast, pulled chicken, pulled pork, baked beans, scalloped potatoes, mac and cheese, chili, chips, cobblers, cookies and plenty of drinks. It was awesome! This is the best I have ever been treated by a Company and not just because of the cookout and that includes when I worked for myself for 13 years!

A week or so of glamping is the best way we can think of to start this adventure BUT to get the day started right it has not only been Deanna waiting for me to retire but Jessie Dog, every morning I leave for work she would stand at the gate and watch till she couldn't see me anymore and then hang her head, Deanna would let her in and she would go to her little cubby hole in a closet and pretty much stay till I came home at lunch. SO to get this started we are going to go for a morning walk. This will be a great way to get some exercise for both of us.

So that is the update, stay tuned for upcoming travels!
