07.11.13 Chipmunks, Loons, Awnings and Chives ~~~~~
My old boss Donna sent me this when we first moved. I don't think I've ever included it in a blog post. I guess this sign was talking about us since we retired up north!

06.11.13 Three days off coming to an end!
Our three days off started out with me in bed for an extended period of time. No fishing, no church, no nothing but bed rest.
