my husband is now also retired and we love to travel. we have been to paris several times and to london and germany and italy and croatia and spain and australia. we recently came back from south africa on safari which we really enjoyed. we are now planning a trip to greecevwhere my grandparents were from.
we enjoy taking rides to wineries and to the countryside in our little sports car. we love our home and where we live and enjoy the company of our family and good friends. we also have the love of a sweet wonderful cat named lucky. i am a cat lover and have had many cats in my lifetime. lucky belonged to my dad and upon his recent passing she has come to live with us.
we have been blessed with so much in our life and continue to be thankful for whatever comes in the future.
growing old is not all that fun however staying young at heart certainly makes the journey worthwhile.
