Midlife Wanderings now Retirees - From Kansas to the Philippines - No place like home

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A RETIREE.....

 Hello fellow wanderers.  I pray all is well with you and your family despite the very, very cold weather we are having this year.  If you are from the tropics, count it a blessing to be where you are.  We have frigid weather here, schools are cancelled for three days now and it's very tricky to drive in the snow.  Michael and I just realized that we are thankful JJ didn't ask to go sledding - yikes!  Back then we were the ones asking if he wanted to go sledding and we would gladly take him, even sled down the hill ourselves a couple of times.  Well, those were the days.

Mike has been enjoying not getting up early and work outside in this kind of weather.  And we are all glad he's no longer working in this kind of weather too.  He told me the other day that his body has relaxed, not stressed out and he'd been sleeping through the night peacefully.  When he was still working he always tells me that his dreams were weird and it always involved him working - even in his dreams he IS working.  Well not anymore, thank goodness.

We are still working on the basement, Mike tackling the storage room in the basement while I am tackling the family/recreation room on the other part of the basement.  As of today, we are all done with the painting.  I will work on the stairs tomorrow after we take some small furniture up to the garage to store for the moving sale then I will call Chen, our realtor tomorrow.

This is our You Tube video about our day in the life as we get ready for the big move to the Philippines:
