Hey, sure love retirement and Island living — As we began horse activities the other day, around 4:00 pm, my friend ask me “And, what did you do today on Whitney Bay” What do I say? ? ? ? After thought is said “Retirement stuff” That meant play around with my blog, my photos, my garden and “read and sleep” — call that R & S around here. some times more S then R. It really is hard to explain what I do with my time sometimes. But I may try to explain a little today!
Early on this morning, my wife said lets play golf this morning — Now I am not a good golf player BUT I have a retirement rule — If asked to play golf — drop everything (That is safe to do so) and go play golf — so it is almost time to go do horse work — play — and train and I did not mow, weed, or clean windows or wash the car, or power wash the house and barn or ……………………. or ………………. or ……. u got the idea.
Here is what happened so far — 1/2 hour to shave/shower/etc, 2 hours golf, 1 hour on phone with a photo club friends discussing her web site development challenges – love doing that stuff (guess I am just a computer nerd at heart), 1 hour eating lunch and breakfast, 1 hour reading and discussing news with my wife, and 40 minutes driving to from golf course and visiting at the pro shop, oh at least 1 hour doing the blog. See folks those 7+ hours of retirement were worth every minute. — love it all — that other stuff can wait!
Oh what about change I will try to write about that each day: I will give u one day from Grandpa’s diary — u tell me what it means: “1903 April 18 ” Took props to Hooversville, Finished plowing long field, and planted trees. Had A. Manges mare. paid 25 cents.” Was that mare sentence saying he rented the mare as if I would rent a front-end loader for the day?
— well in golf here is a change from most other golf courses I know about — Fist thing I was wearing jeans (not permitted on our community course in Titusville Fl), Second the gentleman (a friend here) mowing the course was wearing a three layers of coats , tule, (Drummond for sailer’s knit cap or ski like cap) and a hood, and see photos for some of today’s experiences different from golf in Titusville, FL
One hour before golf — 43 degrees
What a change from Florida golf — a wind sock — Not really for golfers to check the wind — but we often do use it for that — it is for landing airplanes.
And you better read the sign and obey!
OK no work today — I must go do horse play and train — try to get 1 to 2 hours in each day
