Our new schedule involves us working Monday through Wednesday. One couple recently departed leaving us short handed. This week George has gone on vacation, so there have only been two of us on for the first two days of this schedule. This means that special projects take a back seat to regular daily work like cleaning pools and checking on who is in the park and mowing. It has been hard to try to get regular work done, much less anything that comes along. But we persevered, and the days have flown by, and we are doing the best we can. Am I complaining? Probably.
However we did replace a pool pump, replaced blades on the mowers, fixed a vandalized light, filled a trailer with wood from the recent storm and unloaded it at the saloon for future firewood needs, filled about 30 bags of ice for patrons to buy, and the list goes on. You can see why we go home tired at the end of a work day. I do enjoy working with the other fellows, especially Roy, as he teaches this novice as we work through problems. I treasure our time together. It is hard for me to realize that we are the two old guys in our seventies, and the others are younger. In fact as we hurried in our golf carts to help drag dead limbs out of a tree, we enjoyed the race like little kids. It put a smile on both of our faces. Then back to business. Happy travels.

Todd and I have been thinking/planning a lot for retirement lately. I hope and pray it's as active, healthy and happy as yours!
