1 YEAR Already?

I checked the calendar and YES! it has been 1 year already. I have had a wonderful 1st year of retirement. As I look back on the year and think about my bucket list, I find I have not done too bad. I have done many things that I had set out to do and gone many places that I have never been. I have to say that it has been a very successful year filled with many adjustments and I think that it will be even better this next year. I have pretty much spoiled myself and done what ever I wanted within financial reason, lol. I have spent the year at the lakehouse with trips to Mississippi for ballgames, concerts, dental appointments and doctor appointments. I just really like my doctor and dentist and just can't seem to make the change just yet, besides its a good excuse to go see grandkids and I have worked it so that I combine concerts and dental visits, lol.

I must say that I have not done a good job of keeping this blog up and I am sure that I will regret that. I have spent enough time at the lake now that I am beginning to think I would like a beach trip (once the oil mess is over) and I am just almost ready for a cruise, lol. I am really pretty content just hanging at the lakehouse, but would enjoy more days here just me, lol. It has been nice running into a few of my old school mates and catching up, but 30 years is a long time to catch up on. Hopefully, I will continue to fill this 30 year gap on old friends and not create a 30 year gap on Mississippi friends.

I have enjoyed the Sandy's Patches and my applique/sewing. I have been off to a slower start than I had hoped but I think with time that will get better. This is a very new thing for me and I am sure I am making all kinds of business mistakes that I will not know about until too late, but for now I am just enjoying it. I have actually taken a break until the 15th of July, except for items I have already prepared. I am really looking forward to doing some football and Halloween items and probably spending way too much on designs, lol. If you are following the Sandy's Patches blog you can see that I have not kept it up very well either, I am sorry I just prefer sewing over the blogging and paperwork required, lol.

My health has been good this year and I am looking forward to another fun year of Retirement. I hope to build some better eating and exercise habits this next year.

I am hoping to do another post for June with highlights of Lakehouse happenings in the next few days and maybe I will do a monthly post from that point on. Time will tell if I can develop better posting habits.
